Trader Joe’s Turkeys and Holiday Favorites Are Back—Get Them Before They’re Gone

Trader Joe's Whole Turkeys

Trader Joe’s whole turkeys are raised in large, open-air grow houses in the U.S. and are vegetarian-fed, receive no antibiotics or hormones, and are minimally processed. Plus, they're 100 percent fresh, meaning they're never frozen.

Trader Joe’s offers its turkeys in several flavorful options. The All-Natural Antibiotic-Free Brined Fresh Young Turkeys are soaked in a sweet and savory brine, while The All Natural Glatt Kosher Fresh Young Turkeys are soaked and salted using a kosher-certified method. And the Organic Young Turkeys are raised free range, with access to the outdoors. They're not brined, but they do contain giblets.

Teeny Tiny Pies

Trader Joe’s Teeny Tiny Pies—available in apple and pecan—offer the perfect bite of the holidays without having to slice into a whole pie. Measuring about 3 inches in diameter and filled with seasonal goodness, the petite pies are baked until their flaky crusts are golden. The pecan option includes pecan halves and is brushed with a sweet, white-sugar glaze, while the itty-bitty apple pies are made with sweet-tart, Northern Spy apples and topped with a brown sugar crumble. No baking is required, though you can warm them up in the microwave or air fryer.

Totally Cheeseball Cheese Spread

The grocer's Totally Cheeseball spread is an elevated play on the party-friendly retro cheese ball. It combines two Trader Joe's cheeses—Unexpected Cheddar and Syrah Toscano—and mixes them with almonds, garlic, and parsley to create a gourmet cheeseball flavor that's conveniently packaged in a tub.

Spicy & Sweet Creamy Pepper Dip

This dip packs a punch thanks to piquillo and jalapeño peppers, fire-roasted peppers, chili sauce, and rich Neufchâtel cheese. It’s great for dipping with crackers, crostini, or crudités.

Spanish Sheep Milk Cheese with Quince Jam

This Spanish cheese is crafted with fresh sheep's milk and locally sourced quince. The firm cheese boasts veins of bright-pink quince jam, giving it a smooth, creamy, and salty taste with a hint of tart-sweetness. Plus, it pairs well with turkey.

Harvest Apple Salad Kit

This seasonal salad kit includes a fresh spring mix that's accompanied by Trader Joe’s Unexpected Cheddar, dried apple chips with cinnamon, and crunchy pecan pieces. Toss the salad in the apple vinaigrette dressing, featuring apple cider vinegar, concentrated apple juice, Dijon mustard, and savory spices. Because it's so easy to assemble, it makes a fuss-free side dish for your holiday meal.

Nantucket Style Cranberry Pie

Traditionally found on tables across New England, this dessert is a tart alternative to the usual sweet holiday offerings. Cranberries and walnut pieces form the base with accents of almond and vanilla. Either heat it in the oven or defrost it on the counter and serve at room temperature.

Advent Calendars for Pets

Trader Joe's has refreshed its pet-friendly Advent calendars this year. The new cat calendar includes 24 days of freeze-dried treats made with salmon and sweet potato, while the new dog calendar includes 24 days of freeze-dried treats made from chicken breast.

Non-Alcohol Sparkling Violette Tea

A great non-alcohol alternative to sparkling wines and champagne, this bubbly floral tea features a blend of black and herbal teas that is slowly steeped in cold water and mixed with dealcoholized white wine and sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Nuts About Rosemary Mix

This nut mix contains roasted almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, and pecans, all mixed together with a rosemary and sea salt spice blend and a touch of sugar. Keep some containers on hand for impromptu holiday gatherings or serve on a Thanksgiving charcuterie board.
