Deconstructed Thanksgiving Dinner with Daring Tenders

Just your friendly reminder that making Thanksgiving dinner does not have to mean: 🙅​
1) Roasting a turkey
2) Spending days prepping
3) Creating an overwhelming mess in your kitchen​
Here's an earth-friendly, time-friendly, and space-friendly way to make your holiday meal this year. Full recipe below 👇
Roast:
1 8oz pouch Daring Tenders
2 cups green beans
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
¼ cup distilled white vinegar
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce or vegan Worcestershire
½ lemon
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Sea salt
Black pepper
Vegan Stuffing:
2 cups cubed bread
½ TBSP vegan butter
¼ yellow onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 cloves garlic, minced
¼ tsp dried sage
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
½ - ¾ cups vegetable stock
Salt + pepper to taste
Roast Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400ºF & line a sheet pan with parchment.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together white vinegar, soy sauce (or Worcestershire), & minced garlic. Set aside.
3. Trim & rinse green beans.
4. Blanch the green beans for 1 min.
5. Add the blanched green beans & Daring Tenders to a large bowl. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt & 1/2 tsp black pepper, juice from ½ lemon, thyme, & the soy sauce mixture. Mix until all elements are coated.
6. Add the tossed Daring & green beans to one of the lined sheet pans.
7. Set the sheet pan in the oven & roast for 10 min, turning over Daring Tenders half-way through to ensure both sides are golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven & let cool slightly. (Note, cook times may vary slightly. You’ll know your Daring Tenders are ready when golden brown)
Stuffing Instructions:
1. Spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet. Toast for 14-18 min, flipping halfway.
2. Sauté celery & onion in the vegan butter until onion is translucent. Add garlic, sage & thyme & sauté for 2 min.
3. In a large baking dish, combine the toasted bread & celery + onion mixture. Then, add a little bit of vegetable stock at a time until the bread is re-moistened (but not mushy).
4. Add salt & pepper to taste.
5. Bake the stuffing at 375°F for 25-30 min or until the top is golden & crunchy.
6. Plate & serve with your favorite vegan gravy.
