Trader Joe's blog and cooking.
The pros: Trader Joe’s Turkey Pot Pie Bites has made an appearance just after everyone has finished their turkey dinners. This is a decent appetizer.
The cons: Not one of the best appetizers that Trader Joe’s sells. Also, this item is seasonal.
The verdict: …
The pros: Trader Joe’s Turkey and Stuffing En Croute is a Thanksgiving dinner (minus the mashed potatoes) in one single frozen box. It’s a massive time saver and is super presentable.
The cons: If you like this product, it appears to be a seasonal one. While most of the turkey was evenly distributed, I did have one slice that did not have any. I’m also not sure why this is about 8 servings. I think 4-6 is a more reasonable number (more on this issue below).
The verdict: …
The pros: Trader Joe’s Peppered Turkey Bacon is a thicker cut and more peppered variation of Trader Joe’s Uncured Turkey Bacon. It was meaty, smoky, and only 40 calories per slice.
The cons: There are no directions for cooking this in the oven which is unusual as their other varieties of bacon do have these directions.
The verdict:
…
The pros: Trader Joe’s Uncured Turkey Bacon has very little grease to speak of, nice salty taste with a bit of smoke to it.
The cons: True bacon lovers will miss out on the real bacon taste.
The verdict: …
The pros: Trader Joe’s Fully Cooked Turkey Breast is moist turkey breast ready in under 45 minutes.
The cons: Expensive compared to buying a whole uncooked turkey. No dark meat option at Trader Joe’s.
The verdict: …
The pros: Trader Joe’s Turkey Gobbler Wrap is Thanksgiving leftovers in a whole wheat wrap. Turkey, cranberry relish, and stuffing all together in one wrap without the mess of actually making all the fixings that go into a Thanksgiving dinner (or having food coma afterwards).
The cons: Should come with a packet of gravy or mayo. Something to dress up the occasional dry spot that is too often found in wraps.
The verdict: …
The pros: Quick. It’s food. Trader Joe’s Turkey Club Wrap is basic food. For a dollar more, go to Subway instead. You’ll get way more for your money.
The cons: Flat tasting, dry, should come with a condiment in the packaging to moisten this wrap up.
The verdict: …
