I have to admit, I've never really had the urge to cook my Tofurky by using a beer can, but apparently Beer Can Turkey is all the rage, and now us vegetarians can join in with this technique for cooking a Beer Can Tofurky. Um, if we want to. Beer Can Turkey is usually cooked on the grill, though it can be oven roasted, too, and this Beer Can Tofurky recipe uses a combination of grilling and roasting for maximum flavor. If beer isn't your thing, the recipe notes that another kind of carbonated beverage would work just as well. Try ginger ale or root beer.
