Trader Joe’s is our ride-or-die grocery store. They might not have the largest selection, but what they do have is, not to be too dramatic, freaking perfect. We’ve already had more than our fill of both sweet and savory pumpkin fall foods, but the chain has more in store as we get closer to the holidays. The newest products on our radar have to do with every foodie’s favorite holiday of all: Thanksgiving! From frozen side dishes and entrees that make smaller Thanksgiving meals easy as can be (and tasty too) to seasonings and desserts, these are some of the best Thanksgiving products at Trader Joe’s this year.

The best thing about these cheesy gratins, one with sweet and regular potatoes with mushrooms, the other with broccoli and cauliflower, is that they freeze really well. Heat up in the oven, and no one will guess you didn’t make these from scratch.

Small Thanksgiving celebrations can be a blessing in disguise. Make yours stress-free by picking up a delicious turkey and stuffing en croute from Trader Joe’s, which features moist turkey breast surrounded by savory stuffing, all wrapped up in a golden-brown puff pastry wrapper.

Sweet mashed potatoes are a staple at Thanksgiving, and we love the crunch from the candied pecans. We won’t even tell if you add some marshmallows on top.

Another cheesy potato dish, and we’re not mad about it! Actually our perfect Thanksgiving pretty much looks like picking up this creamy four cheese potato gratin with all of the other cheesy side dishes from TJ’s and making that our entire meal.
11. Riced Cauliflower Stuffing
🚨IT’S BACK🚨 RICED CAULIFLOWER STUFFING •$2.99• I made this the other day and added lentils and it was an easy, tasty meal! I added extra salt and pep for flavor along with some olive oil. This is a tasty dish full of all the flavors found in traditional stuffing. It makes a great alternative during #Thanksgiving if you like to save room for one of the many other dishes. What are your taste buds thoughts on #traderjoes Riced Cauliflower Stuffing?
A post shared by Trader Joe’s List (@traderjoeslist) on Oct 23, 2020 at 5:19pm PDT
If you thought the cauliflower craze was over, think again. But we’re actually totally fine with it because it’s delicious and this cauliflower stuffing has all of the flavors you’d expect but without the heaviness of bread.
