Ingredients:
- 1 c TVP (textured soy protein) granules

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and oil a large baking sheet with the tablespoon of olive oil.
- In a large bowl, blend together the TVP mixture, parsley, mushrooms, flour, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper. Knead for about a minute until the mixture adheres together.
