On the stuffing front, for example, the California-based chain has two boxed options (including a gluten-free variety) as well as a heat-and-serve version made with cornbread croutons, dried cranberries, and roasted apples, which debuted this year. Returning Thanksgiving items, like the time-saving Holiday Vegetable Hash and Fresh Cranberry Sauce, are also in stock this year, and Trader Joe’s even brought back its unusual Turkey Sausage Stuffing Fried Rice. While fried rice isn’t exactly a Thanksgiving staple, this savory entrée infuses the classic Asian dish with several nods to the November holiday, including chunks of turkey sausage, breadcrumbs, and a holiday spice blend. Whatever you choose, just remember to shop early: Trader Joe’s isn’t open on Thanksgiving in 2022. Here’s a list of some of our favorite classic Turkey Day dishes at Trader Joe’s, plus some innovative ones too. But if you simply can’t have a bite of turkey that isn’t doused in gravy, pick up some Turkey Gravy to go with your protein. All you need to do to enjoy this version is to open it, pour it in your gravy boat, and heat it up in the microwave. This carb-packed dish boasts a base of fluffy cornbread croutons (just like the boxed version), which are seasoned with herbs such as parsley, rosemary and sage. The stuffing also includes dried cranberries and roasted apples, which add a bright pop of flavor.
