Full Review:

It’s Thanksgiving time again! Bring on the family, friends and (most importantly) the food! In preparation for the holiday, we cooked up a Trader Joe’s feast in our test kitchen – complete with rotisserie Turkey, gravy, asparagus and (of course) stuffing. It was loads of fun, and a great primer for the big day.

Stuffing (or “dressing” as it is sometimes called – according to the package description) is a flexible dish – it can be cooked on the stove, in the stove, or in the bird.

This year, we went the traditional route, and while there’s a decent case against stuffing your turkey, we’ve cooked our turkeys stuffed with breadcrumbs for years and years – to the delight of our dinner guests.

So, what’s the verdict? In short, we liked it! The recipe was straightforward and simple, and the result was tender and Flavorful Stuffing. It was the right texture – it wasn’t at all dry, and it didn’t mush or lose it’s cubed shape.

As a bonus, leftovers kept well and retained their goodness when reheated for a few minutes in the stove. Alternatively, when spread cold onto a piece of toast as the base layer of a turkey sandwich, it was just devine. Enjoy!
