IMPOSSIBLE™ BURGER, APPLE AND SAGE STUFFING RECIPE(opens in a new tab)

Here’s a stuffing recipe that is not only a perfect complement to the holiday turkey, but can also be a main course dish for the vegans or vegetarians at your table. Rich with flavor and packed with protein, this is the kind of recipe that could become standard for the Thanksgiving table for years to come.

You’ll be using Impossible Burger as the centerpiece of this sweet and savory dish. The savory flavors come from sage, onions, fennel, thyme (among others) and our delicious Impossible Burger. The sweet flavors come from diced apples and golden raisins. The recipe calls for stale bread, but if you don’t have any on hand, just cube several slices of fresh bread and pop them into the oven for a few minutes. 

When all these ingredients come together, we’re pretty sure that people will pass on more turkey and want more of this incredible stuffing.

IMPOSSIBLE ™ BBQ MEATLOAF(opens in a new tab)

You know that week before New Year’s when you still need to feed your family but your energy is lagging? Here is a recipe that is one of our most popular meals using Impossible Burger: the Impossible BBQ meatloaf. It’s tangy, tasty, delicious and comforting. 

What’s even better: it’s super simple to make and only requires six ingredients.  (Didn’t we say it was the perfect solution?). This recipe is from Chef Mimi, creator of the Black Food and Wine Experience, a festival and expo of Black chefs, winemakers and mixologists held annually in Oakland, CA.  She also hosts the Bringing It to the Table cooking show. Her plant-based meatloaf recipe will give you a hearty meal for dinner or an easy lunch if make a sandwich around a slice of meatloaf! 

IMPOSSIBLE™ HOLIDAY APPETIZER MEATBALLS(opens in a new tab) 

Oh, no! It’s your turn this year to host the annual neighborhood holiday get-together/church choir holiday party/family New Year’s Eve pre-festivities cocktail party. Impossible™ Holiday Appetizer Meatballs are the perfect solution for what to set out beside the usual cheese plates, salsa and chips, and that old standard: chopped veggies and dip.

Making the meatballs is the easy part.  (Actually, the whole recipe is the easy part). Just take out a bag of Impossible Meatballs from the freezer and put them in your slow cooker. Now you don’t have to make the Impossible™ BBQ sauce, but it’s awfully easy to do and why not make your own sauce? It won’t have any preservatives in it like the BBQ sauces you get at the store.  And the whole thing cooks with your meatballs in the slow cooker anyway.

See? We told you it was easy. And delicious. And fun. Your crowd will love these things so much, they may vote to have you host all these parties again next year.  Is that so bad? Not really.

(Tip: Haven’s Kitchen makes delicious sauces that can be found all over the country(opens in a new tab).)

The combination of Impossible Burger and Haven’s Kitchen BBQ sauce will make these nachos irresistible.
