8 Healthy Finds Coming to Trader Joe’s This November

The autumn leaves, cool air and grocery shelves packed with sweet potatoes and pumpkin can only mean one thing: Thanksgiving is almost upon us. Whether you consider yourself the gourmet chef of the family or just want to whip up a simple, cozy dinner for yourself and a friend, this year’s lineup of Trader Joe’s Thanksgiving products will help you enjoy a stress-free holiday. 

In a new Fearless Flyer, TJ’s shared all kinds of yummy, convenient finds that will make your spirits bright this November, from simple stuffing kits to budget-friendly turkey gravy and more. We rounded up some of the most exciting options, but there’s always more to fall in love with on those store shelves—so make sure you leave a little extra room in your cart.

1. Whole Turkey

There’s a reason it’s called Turkey Day—and these bird options from TJ’s can help you make your Thanksgiving centerpiece a stunner. Trader Joe’s is once again offering three turkey types: the All-Natural Antibiotic-Free Brined Young Turkey at $2.49 per pound, the All-Natural Glatt Kosher Fresh Young Turkey for $3.49 per pound and the free-range Organic Young Turkey for $3.99 per pound. Both of the non-kosher options include giblets, so you can get your gravy cooking. All of the turkeys will start showing up in stores on November 9, so you can go ahead and knock out your holiday shopping needs. Use our Herb-Roasted Turkey recipe as flavor inspiration, and you’ve got a hit on your hands.

2. Nuts About Rosemary Mix

If you know guests will be arriving even as you put the finishing touches on dinner, putting out a bowl of these fragrant, herbaceous nuts can help keep folks out of the kitchen and tide them over until supper. The mix includes almonds, cashews, hazelnuts and pecans, all seasoned with a sweet-salty blend of rosemary, sea salt and a touch of sugar. A simple, on-theme snack like this one is sure to please a crowd. Pick up a 12-ounce canister for $7.99.

3. Mashed Sweet Potatoes

For the price of $2.99, you can strike scrubbing, baking and mashing off your to-do list. This convenient frozen option has just one ingredient: sweet potatoes. Each 18-ounce bag includes frozen pucks of cooked, mashed sweet potato, so you can reheat the quantity you need and use them in whatever recipe your heart desires. We’d opt for these in anything from our Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie to our high-fiber No-Sugar-Added Sweet Potato Casserole.

4. Unexpected Holiday Cheer Cheddar Cheese Spread

Another classic Trader Joe’s favorite is getting a makeover for the holiday season. Trader Joe’s Unexpected Cheddar Cheese Spread, which debuted last year, quickly gained devotées who used it for easy macaroni and cheese, cheeseboard accessorizing and even as a fun dip for soft pretzels. Now TJ’s is introducing a cheery holiday version featuring cranberry bits, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a little Riesling. It’s a perfect appetizer to put out for your guests, and it doesn’t require curating a perfect cheese plate or mixing up and shaping a cheeseball. Just pair it with some tasty crackers, put out some grapes and you’re already the host with the most. Try a tub for $4.99 during the holiday months.

5. Maple Espresso Black Tea (or Autumn Maple Coffee)

With these two options on hand, you’ll have a deliciously cozy, seasonal beverage on hand for anyone who needs a little caffeine to get through the post-Thanksgiving urge to nap. Serve a pot of the lightly sweet coffee with your favorite desserts, and offer hot tea to any who’d rather skip the java. The espresso tea is tea-based, but with the addition of chicory and some ground espresso beans, so you’ll get a little bonus caffeine and an enormous depth of flavor. Grab a box of tea bags for $2.99 or pick up a 14-ounce bag of coffee for $8.99.

6. Les Petites Carrots of Many Colors

Trader Joe’s has long offered pretty multicolored baby carrots that add a touch of rustic sophistication to your Thanksgiving veggie medley, but these little carrots take it up a notch. These carrots are larger than baby carrots—trimmed and peeled, they’re still between 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 inches long—but they’re still small enough to be truly adorable. The attached stems give them a distinguished look that will give your Thanksgiving table a little extra pizzazz. Each variety pack includes carrots in purple, yellow, white, red and orange hues, all of which are ready-to-cook. Pick up a 16-ounce bag for $4.29.

7. Everything But the Leftovers Seasoning Blend

Unless you keep a very full spice cabinet on hand, shopping for Thanksgiving seasonings could be tough on your wallet. So many recipes for classic dishes call for flavor boosters like sage, parsley, onion powder, celery seed, rosemary, thyme and more. If you’re making a Thanksgiving meal for just one or two people—or if you just want to add extra flavor to your leftovers—this Thanksgiving seasoning blend from TJ’s can help alleviate the strain on your wallet. Pick up a shaker for $2.99 and get all of those rich, seasonal flavors at a discount.

8. All Butter Puff Pastry

Whether you’re planning a pretty tarte soleil, some easy Fig & Goat Cheese Puff Pastry Rolls or a favorite pastry-based dessert, keeping some frozen puff on hand can be a real time-saver in the kitchen—after all, who has time to do all that rolling out and folding in the middle of holiday prep? That’s why TJ’s is bringing back its puff pastry, which you can find in the freezer aisle, for the holiday season. Grab a package for $4.99 and use the two sheets of dough to make an appetizer, like our Cranberry-Brie Bites with Puff Pastry, or share a sweet treat, like these Apple & Brie Upside-Down Tarts.
