As Derek suggested, I'm prepping this in parts to get ready for Thanksgiving. I made the mushroom gravy first, and it was so, so delicious! Probably the best gravy I've ever tasted. I should have used way more flour to begin with to avoid needing to make more roux. It would have cut down on time. Derek uses a stick of butter in the video, but I used about 1/2 a stick which was more than enough to make lots of roux. In total including the roux, I used about 1.5 cups of flour. I now have about 8-10 cups of gravy for my family and I to enjoy! I'm excited to see how the rest of the recipe turns out. UPDATE: Everyone loved this dish, especially the gravy! There's nothing left. It came together very quickly and easily. The only real change I made was to omit the celery because we don't like celery. Instead, I added parsnips which turned out to be sweeter than the carrots, so next time I'll look for a different vegetable because I really want a trio. I also freeze my tofu to give it that meaty texture. My daughter became a vegetarian about a year ago, and I struggle every single time to find good recipes to make for her that taste good, don't break the bank, and don't take too much time. Thank you so much for this recipe! It will be a regular menu item for family gatherings.
I love watching someone kinda riff in the kitchen like I do. ❤ I’ve never seen a video with anybody cooking with this laid back energy, and I love it. The extra roux pot was 100% relatable.
This is my go to Thanksgiving meal I am making every year and throughout the year. I've made a few times since last year and its really satisfying and comforting. One if the things I am grateful for is you and this meal, thank you! I am also grateful to our community and our commitment of causing less harm to animals.❤❤❤
I will definitely be making this for our Christmas dinner. I will be substituting one sweet potato for one of the white potatoes, and may even chop up a parsnip as part of the veggies. That gravy is going to be outstanding, and I think I’ll make a double batch of that because gravy and mashed potatoes just can’t be beat. Much love to you and Frankie.
I just randomly found your videos and I'm so glad I did. It's hard to find tasty vegan food. Your cookbook is amazing as well. Thank you for sharing your recipes and knowledge with us. I really enjoy watching you cook. Your dog is awesome too.
There used to be a Vegetarian chain of restaurants in Montreal called Le Commensal that had a buffet of Vegetarian and Vegan delights. Your recipes remind me of the kind of packed with flavor dishes that got you coming back for more. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us all
Now I'm really hungry. Thanks for a fantastic cookery lesson Derek, inspiring stuff and great food too. Definitely going to have a go at this. One problem though, my wife said I need to stop using up our tea towels for clearing down as I cook 🤣
I make all new twists on traditional Thanksgiving foods every year, and this is going to be it this year! I can't wait for my non plant based family to try this one! My mouth watered the whole video! Thank you!!! 💚
I really liked this because it focuses on a meal for the holidays but basically anytime we have company. I have a request. I realize you likely have more ideas for videos than you can keep up with, but I'm going to toss out my suggestion: We have friends over for dinner frequently and I'm constantly trying to put together a meal that is company-worthy. I'd love to see more videos like this one and that focus on what to make when having friends / family for dinner. Thank you.
Yes, this for our upcoming Thanksgiving. Those eating cornish hens can have this as a side, it will be my main course with some mushrooms added. Everyone is happy (except the hens, but I don't fight that battle on special occasions when others are coming, please don't hate me.)
I made this yesterday for Thanksgiving and it completely stole the show! My mother is insisting that I make it again for the Winter holiday feast. Seriously, this is the greatest cooking channel. Your knowledge of food and your vibes (Frankie’s too!) are top tier. This was the first of your recipes that I’ve made; it certainly won’t be the last!
Your Vegan Cuisine is Incredible ! And Frankie is Magnificent ♥ I've been Vegan since age 20... I'm 67 and never looked back, Impossible for me to eat the innocent creature's that I love!!
Follow up question: if I'm replacing tempeh for the tofu, should I marinate it for a few hours beforehand? Or just treat it the exact same way as the tofu? Thank you! @@DerekSarnoChef
I love making food, I've dedicated my career to it, I've never enjoyed watching people make food though, until now. You're very relaxing, grounded, and easy to follow and relate to
OMG! 🤩 This made me weak in my knees, LOL. I need to make this. WOW. I love the name “stuffing pie” and will be telling everyone, even non-vegans, about your dish! I am so grateful for you sharing your experience and creations here, so thank you so much. Wishing you and Miss Frankie a healthy and well-fed holiday season. ♥️
Made this for thanksgiving. It looked and and I'm absolutely positive tasted better than anything anybody else was eating. Even the death munchers loved it.
If you keep this up your going to need to send us a list of ingredients on a morning so we know what we are having for dinner and can pop to Sainsburys on the way home!
You make me smile...the true chef that you are...because of you I clean now in between ingredients and try to practice mise en plas (however u spell that) this dinner looks wonderful!! Thx for your great vids!!🤗🙂😋
I'm watching this nine months later but just last evening I was driving home thinking about creating my own recipe for a tofu "unturkey" roast, then this morning, here you are with this lovely cassarole. I always make sure I have a delicious, savory mushroom gravy on my holiday menu too. Your using the gravy as a shortcut for stuffing...brilliant!
There is something Pavlovian about your videos. The minute I see them pop up in my feed, I start to salivate. This looks so easy compared to other holiday spreads and it hits all my favorite flavors. I see this meal happening in my near future. As always, thanks for sharing and love all the little Frankie moments in your videos. Oh and the other browning sauce here in the states is called Kitchen Bouquet.
Thank you, Derek! I was looking for a show stopper plant based dish to serve to my meat eating family for Thanksgiving. This delicious recipe comes just in time! 💜
I made this for thanksgiving and it amazing. So comforting and rich, I made extra gravy and just tossed it all in. Pure perfection! These happy bellies want to say happy thanksgiving and thank you for all the videos you do.
So I i did make this for Thanksgiving and it was delicious and I'm making it again today. Plus this was so delicious I'm going to keep it on rotation for dinner. When u have it down it's super easy. Plus we are bringing this one pot dish for our gathering and its easier to take along since we are the only vegans of course.
My parents are German immigrants and every holiday included red cabbage as a side dish. It wasn’t until I was in my 20’s that it occurred to me (first time eating at someone else’s house for Thanksgiving) that Rotkohl was NOT, in fact, a traditional Thanksgiving staple, lol.
I just made this dish the second time this festive season. I replaced the spuds with parsnips and added a can of green lentils the second time for more protein. Had it with honey Chipotle bbq sauce once and with homemade cranberry sauce. Thank you for sharing, Derek, you're a treasure! ❤✨️🎁
This is a great idea for serving a large family. A good idea tp prep most of ahead of time so the cook can be more relaxexwhen its time to eat. So many lovely ingredients that there's no need for side dishes, except maybe some steamed greens😊
This is my comfort food ❤ I've had success browning my flour in the toaster oven. Just spread it out flat on the baking sheet, toast a few cycles until it's the color you want, stir it up between toastings..... helps with the brown gravy color. Hugs to beautiful Frankie 💜🐾💜
That looks absolutely delicious Derek, my mouth is watering 😊 I often add a tablespoon of marmalade to my gravy, it really gives it a certain je ne sais quoi.
Very good idea! I bet the flavour was complex and completely delicious!! I’d like to try this next year. I made a vegan pot pie for our Canadian Thanksgiving, along with SchoolNightVegan’s stuffing balls…soooo good! Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Derek and Frankie. It’s wonderful life when leaving animals off our plates.
This was very well filmed, despite what you think are mistakes! The meal looks amazing, and I value your always giving us little hints as you go; you'd make a very good culinary academy instructor. Thanks for posting, and a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
That looks incredibly tasty - and so easy and economical to make too, they only slightly complex component was the gravy. I could eat this every Sunday 😋🌱
Can’t wait to try this next week! Although possibly with a minor tweak. I’m thinking maybe mash the potatoes and use as a layer between roasted veg and the croutons (almost like a shepherds pie). I want a vat of that mushroom gravy!!! 😂❤
Chef because I didn’t know how much time had lapsed the entire time you were toasting, shallots and garlic in the cast-iron. I’m sitting in my home not yelling but loudly saying Chef veggies Chef the veggies Chef, please so I can get the veggies. Don’t freak me out like that I start thinking back to when I was in the kitchen, giving me PTSD I love your program and your content. Thank you.
How was I not subbed already? I watch your vids all the time! You are a real innovator, Derek. What you do with mushrooms and cast iron is absolutely next level. Not to mention your veg based deli "meats". You have a very bright future my friend
It's so wonderful getting to watch a professional chef showing off his skills and doing it using nothing but plants. I love this UA-cam channel!
Thanks so much for watching.
You give cullinary inspiration by example. Thanks Derek 🍓
He mentioned butter several times. Hopefully, it is vegan butter.
@@Groveland64 I watch so many of his videos that I feel quite confident in saying it's vegan butter. 😃
@@Groveland64he does confirm its vegan butter. 😊
This isn't cooking, it's wizardry. Simple ingredients, magic result.
I want to be your neighbor. Yum
Me too!
I’m joining the queue.
I know, right!
That is exactly what I was thinking 😊
Yes!

Thanks for the vegan Thanksgiving masterclass. And the Frankie fix, of course.
DEREK, YOU ARE A BLESSING! ❤
Thanks for watching
Gravy Master in the US. This looks incredible and as usual, Frankie is just beautiful!
Frankie ❤❤❤
You look so different with facial hair!
Thank you for the amazing recipes. You’ve inspired me to go back to my vegan ways. 🙏🏻

I was thinking about adding a parsnip as soon as I saw the mix of veg.
Thanks for this. I miss the marathon cooking on T-Day since going veg, but this fits the bill
Crazy in love with you, Frankie and the food! Keep up the excellent work my friend.

smell is our strongest sense for recall. It's been decades, but as soon as i smell oatmeal cookies baking i am transported back to grandma's kitchen.
Now I'm really hungry. Thanks for a fantastic cookery lesson Derek, inspiring stuff and great food too. Definitely going to have a go at this. One problem though, my wife said I need to stop using up our tea towels for clearing down as I cook 🤣
Thanks for watching. That’s what tea towels are for 👍
Oh Derek we in the UK used tea towels strictly for drying dishes. It's a wonderful thing you've introduced! Ha.
i think you've nailed it. i feel nostalgic for this dish and i haven't even made it yet.
I make all new twists on traditional Thanksgiving foods every year, and this is going to be it this year! I can't wait for my non plant based family to try this one! My mouth watered the whole video! Thank you!!! 💚
Happy holiday cooking!
I made it last night, and let me tell you!! It is as good as it looks. Freaking delicious!!!!

Thank you! Watching you and Frankie and your fantastic cooking is the antidote to all the current horrors.
💯🐾🌱❤
In Australia the browning agent is called Parisienne Essence.
I am going to make this for Thanksgiving
I’ll come then 😂
@@DerekSarnoChef you and Frankie are always welcome

Hey there, did you follow the quantities in the description ? If so can you tell me for how many people the quantities suffice ?
Your Vegan Cuisine is Incredible ! And Frankie is Magnificent ♥ I've been Vegan since age 20... I'm 67 and never looked back, Impossible for me to eat the innocent creature's that I love!!
YES! THANK YOU! This looks amazing. I can smell it though the screen . . . LOL. Love to you and Frankie.
Ahhh thanks for watching
Follow up question: if I'm replacing tempeh for the tofu, should I marinate it for a few hours beforehand? Or just treat it the exact same way as the tofu? Thank you! @@DerekSarnoChef
Okay, I marinated it the night before and it all came out fabulously.
tiyre anazing always and this looks incredible. what a spectacular and wholesome indulgence
I love making food, I've dedicated my career to it, I've never enjoyed watching people make food though, until now. You're very relaxing, grounded, and easy to follow and relate to

Looks gorgeous!!!
Awesome! I am salivating and will definitely do this recipe. Gratitude!!
Hope you enjoy
6:07 yay!
This looks scrumptious. I'd never have thought to make something like it, thanks!
Please show us Francky with her play date playing. Looks very tasty and not too complicated to make - thanks a lot.

Yep and she had a blast. Thanks for watching
@@DerekSarnoChef pleased she had a blast🙏
Thank you, Derek! I was looking for a show stopper plant based dish to serve to my meat eating family for Thanksgiving. This delicious recipe comes just in time! 💜
Thanks for watching
That looks really delicious. Definitely going to give it a try. It falls into the category of extreme comfort food!! 😋
Nap inducing delicious
💯 one pot meal for anytime occasion flexible for prepping out gravy and croutons ahead of time !👌
This looks so good. I save my foil as well. Thank you
I just might, easy delish 😋
I just made this, and it’s easy, forgiving and so good! Derek, you win Thanksgiving!

I'm so glad!
I love your videos and you and Frankie SO much! Thanks for being.
the roasting aroma in there must've been really amazing. and it looks very hearty and down to earth (in a good way).
That looks outstanding. There is no such thing as too much gravy. Boops to Frankie!
Thank-you for this gem! You’re a fabulous Teacher.❤
Thanks Sarah
Looks so delicious 🤩 I think this might actually become regular rotation for me. Not just holidays!
Yes!! It’s much more than just holiday grub
I'm intrigued by your water pitcher decal.
So I i did make this for Thanksgiving and it was delicious and I'm making it again today. Plus this was so delicious I'm going to keep it on rotation for dinner. When u have it down it's super easy. Plus we are bringing this one pot dish for our gathering and its easier to take along since we are the only vegans of course.
Looks amazing and delicious Derek 💚 Would you have a Red Cabbage recipe that is something completely different to what you normally find please ?
I’ll have a think. Thanks for watching
My parents are German immigrants and every holiday included red cabbage as a side dish. It wasn’t until I was in my 20’s that it occurred to me (first time eating at someone else’s house for Thanksgiving) that Rotkohl was NOT, in fact, a traditional Thanksgiving staple, lol.

Sounds great!
This is how I cook in the fantasy world in my head. 😃
Wow that looks good ❤ I just got back from shopping and actually bought the ingredients I'll need by chance too! Big hugs to Frankie ❤
This is MARVELOUS!!! Thank You Derek and God Bless You❤️
Very good idea! I bet the flavour was complex and completely delicious!! I’d like to try this next year.
I made a vegan pot pie for our Canadian Thanksgiving, along with SchoolNightVegan’s stuffing balls…soooo good!

I'm planning to offer this to family and friends after they are tired of turkey, etc. Can't wait to hear what they think!
Looks delicious. Definitely giving this one a try. Thanks for all your brilliant recipes.
This looks absolutely amazing. I was just looking for a great Vegan Dish for Thanksgiving. Thanks Again for sharing a Great recipe. 💚🩵💚🩵💚
Hope you enjoy thanks for watching
The browning sauce in the USA is Kitchen Bouquet
We just had this for our Christmas dinner and it was absolutely delicious!!!
Thank you for sharing and give a hug to Frankie :)
Where I live it's Kitchen Bouquet (browning color)
Mouthwatering, from start to finish, and honestly your mushroom sauce/ gravy, sumptuous!
I’m definitely going to try this one! Thank you Derek for all you do for the promotion of Vegan food. P.s. Captain Miss America is looking beautiful 😊
I love to watch you in the kitchen, so efficient, I'm all over the place, very inspiring. Thank you
That looks incredibly tasty - and so easy and economical to make too, they only slightly complex component was the gravy. I could eat this every Sunday 😋🌱
Such a fantastic recipe! And it is so wonderful to see you having fun with the editing! Great video, and Happy Holidays! 🎉
Can’t wait to try this next week! Although possibly with a minor tweak. I’m thinking maybe mash the potatoes and use as a layer between roasted veg and the croutons (almost like a shepherds pie).
I want a vat of that mushroom gravy!!! 😂❤
So delicious! Your enthusiasm makes it so much better!
Thank you, I will be making this for Thanksgiving ❤
Absolutely love this recipe! Making it as soon as we have a kitchen to hand
My grandmother, mother and I used/use Kitchen Bouquet... Love your recipes...
Another great video, Derek. Thanks for the cooking tips. I pick something up from each video. Hi to Frankie.
Amazing, thanks for watching Denise
Chef because I didn’t know how much time had lapsed the entire time you were toasting, shallots and garlic in the cast-iron. I’m sitting in my home not yelling but loudly saying Chef veggies Chef the veggies Chef, please so I can get the veggies. Don’t freak me out like that I start thinking back to when I was in the kitchen, giving me PTSD I love your program and your content. Thank you.
Boop!! 🤣🤣🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Looks amazing, as usual!!
I've been a freak for mushrooms since I was a kid.
Wow this was one of your best vids yet👏
Looking forward to stuffing my face this coming week🥔🧝✌🌱
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
I love how much you love Frankie!
How was I not subbed already? I watch your vids all the time! You are a real innovator, Derek. What you do with mushrooms and cast iron is absolutely next level. Not to mention your veg based deli "meats". You have a very bright future my friend
Looks amazing…thank you for sharing. I always feel hungry after watching your delicious recipes.😂
