What is a good substitute for TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)?

I find a lot of vegan recipes that call for TVP, however I cannot consume a lot of soy since it affects my thyroid.





Are there any non-soy TVP substitutes?





Would quinoa be an okay sub?|||Quinoa is definitley an okay substitue. It absorbs flavor like tvp and has tons of protein and antioxidants. Another option is lentils. tvp is pretty much soy beans with all the oil squeezed out, so lentils will be a good option. If you like it, you can try scrambled tofu in your meals. it doesn't have the same texture but it is still tasty and good with almost anything.|||quinoa
