The Best Trader Joe's Thanksgiving Foods This Year
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.
5. Everything But The Leftovers

This is the ultimate Trader Joe’s seasoning blend for the holidays. It’s made with onion powder, thyme, turmeric, rosemary, and sage, making it perfect for rubbing onto your turkey before roasting or adding to your famous stuffing recipe.

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.
10. Scallopini Potatoes

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

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.
