Seconding all of this - these are great recs for drop-in replacements for regular meat. Going vegetarian is a heck of a lot easier than it used to be; we cook a ton of meals right out of my grandmothers' cookbooks using meat substitutes.

Especially for processed meats like sausage, chicken nuggets, hamburgers, or those premade frozen chicken cor don bleu things, I'd say I prefer the meatless alternatives on taste and texture - even aside from wanting to reduce the harm I cause.
