1<\/span> cup<\/span> soy milk (plain)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
Stuffing<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Melt the vegan butter in a pot on medium heat. Add onions, celery, and garlic to the pot and saute until the vegetables are tender and the onions are clear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In a bowl, whisk the vegetable broth, chicken seasoning, sage and thyme together. Pour this mixture into the pot and bring the entire mixture to a boil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Once boiling, add the bread cubes to the mixture and mix until they are all well coated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After that, turn off the burner and cover the mixture for 5-10 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Fluff the stuffing with a fork and serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Gravy<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Starting with a pan on medium-low heat, melt the vegan butter and add the flour while stirring constantly with a whisk to avoid clumps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Add one cup of water and one cup of soy milk and bring to a boil. Continue stirring the gravy constantly with the whisk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

While waiting for the gravy to come to a boil, add in all of the dry ingredients and continue stirring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

As the mixture heats it will start to thicken. Once it comes to a boil it should be the consistency of gravy. At this point discontinue heating and serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":4395,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[2707],"yst_prominent_words":[2473,1038,2088],"class_list":["post-21651","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-sides","cp_recipe_cuisine-american","cp_recipe_cooking_method-boiling","cp_recipe_cooking_method-sauteing","cp_recipe_cooking_method-simmering","cp_recipe_tags-low-fat","cp_recipe_tags-recipe-videos"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/21651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/58"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21651"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category?post=21651"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=21651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
