Recipes Everyday Cooking Vegan Protein-Packed Spicy Vegan Quinoa with Edamame 4.7 (22) 18 Reviews 8 Photos I adapted this from a turkey burger recipe when I went vegan. It is also gluten-free if you use gluten-free soy sauce. I use it as a post-workout meal, as it is delicious, satisfying and relatively high in plant-based protein. Enjoy!
