the recipe i've used for the last 5 years which nonmeat and meaters alike have loved goes like this.
get a bread ban.
losely wrap the tofurkey (thawed) in tin foil, leave a side open
add the following ingredients
one red or green apple very thinly sliced
one cup of dried berries (trader joes makes a great 4 berry blend - cherries, cranberries, blueberries and some other berry
one cup of crushed walnuts
one cup of fresh orange juice or all natural orange juice
1/2 cup of apricot preserves
1/2 cup of soy sauce
wrap up the tofurkey kinda tight in the foil and cook for 3 hours at 375. periodically baste the tofurkey with the juices you are cooking it in. or just flip the whole thing over in the foil in the pan.
tofurkey makes a gravy, but i don't think it goes well with this recipe. oh once it's cooked. some drain about 3/4 of the juice/soy that didn't absorb into the tofurkey, keep the rest. thinly slice the roast and throw all the fixings over the slices, lightly drizzle the rest of the orange soy over it all once it's sliced.
enjoy. happy tofurkey day!!

The suggested "Baking" method is good but it tends to dry out. Have a steamer pot (big pot 'o water & a collinder will do) to finish it off with and ensure a moist Tofurkey. Pay special attention to the gravy and stuffing you will be making to serve with this because it will actually be the centerpiece of an otherwise bland entree. I suggest a well fruit-ladened stuffing and a heady gravy (with a white wine base) to ensure an elegant presentation. This is especially important if there are any non-vegetarians that might be enjoying this meal with you....
Happy Holidays & Mucho Gusto to you!!!.....

Per the package recommendations, thaw overnight in the refrigerator (very important). I like to use 2 tablespoons of either apricot jam or maple syrup mixed with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Make a pouch out of aluminum foil and put your tofurkey and sauce in it. Seal tight and then make a second pouch to put the first one in. (if you only do one layer, you risk ripping the foil and having all the sauce leak out into the oven). Stick it in a pie plate or pan (in case of rips to your foil). Bake two hours @ 350 degrees. Roll it over several times during the cooking process to make the sauce baste evenly.

All you have to do with those things is just heat them up in the oven for a few minutes. You need to be worrying about what sides you're going to serve with it.
