With Thanksgiving approaching soon, the holiday season is very close to officially kicking off, and supermarkets like Trader Joe's are gearing up with their list of holiday items. Thanksgiving comes with a lot of hosting and family get togethers, and let's keep things real, most of these get togethers are primarily food-centric.
However, there are many people who are first-time hosts or simply do not have the time to cook and prepare elaborate meal and drink options for their guests, keeping in mind each of their guests' food preferences. Well, Trader Joe's is a blessing for such people and has several food and beverage item options that are not only easy to make, but also very time efficient yet delicious.
Here are 5 of the most delicious items from TJ's you should have on your table this Thanksgiving.
Trader Joe's products you need to try this Thanksgiving 2024
1) Teeny Tiny Pecan Pies
The Teeny Tiny Pecan Pies are a delicious treat to have on any Thanksgiving dinner table. Measuring about three inches in diameter, these pies have a buttery, flaky crust and are made with a rich brown sugar filling drizzled with pecan pieces.
Priced at $4.99 for a box of four, the Teeny Tiny Pecan Pies are the perfect dish to serve for dessert when topped with some whipped cream or mascarpone.
2) Herb-Seasoned Brined Bone-In Half Turkey
Smaller parties often don't require a whole turkey, and that's why TJ's offers the option of a half turkey. Brined and rubbed with the traditional seasoning, this antibiotic-free bird is covered in a dollop of butter and a sprig of rosemary before being vacuum-sealed.
The turkey cooks in about an hour to an hour and a half, which is less than half the amount of time it takes to cook a whole turkey. This delicious yet easy dish retails for $4.99, and is perfect for those smaller gatherings that don;t require a whole turkey.
3) Gluten-free Turkey Gravy
Thanksgiving dinner tables are incomplete without turkey, even for those in your friends and family who have gone gluten-free. To help keep your Thanksgiving table gluten-free-inclusive, TJ's has the option for a gluten-free turkey gravy that you can use to make the turkey and its fixings to keep things safe for all your friends and family.
The Gluten-free Turkey Gravy retails for $3.99.
4) Organic Sparkling Rose Tea Beverage
If you're on an booze-free joruney or would just like to keep some delicious non-alcoholic beverage options for your guests, the Organic Sparkling Rose Tea Beverage from TJ's should make it to your Thanksgiving dinner table.
The sparkling drink is priced at $1.99 for a 12 ounce can. What makes it more convenient is that since the drink comes in a can instead of a bottle, you can simply open a fresh can for every person, keeping the drink bubbly and fresh.
5) Cheesy Herby Biscuits
TJ's Cheesy Herby Biscuits are a combination of a buttery, flaky crust bread and herbs like rosemary and thyme, mixed with cheddar and parmesan cheese. These delicious treats can be used a dish by themselves or even for sopping up the turkey gravy.
Either way, they make for a must-have on any Thanksgiving table and retail for $4.99 in the frozen section at TJ's.
These are some of the must-haves from Trader Joe's that should make it to your dinner table this Thanksgiving.
