Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tbsp vegan butter or olive oil
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp turmeric
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove tofu from packaging, draining excess liquid. Lightly pat dry with a clean dish towel or paper towel. You don't need to remove all of the moisture - just enough so the scrambled tofu isn't too watery.
- Using your hands, crumble the tofu into a mixing bowl. Add in nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt and pepper and stir well to coat.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low and add vegan butter or oil. Once hot, add tofu to pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
