How fun is this?!

Here are the faves I found (most are low carb)

Will you try any of them? Let me know in the comments!

Low Carb Thanksgiving Shortcuts at Trader Joe’s

APPETIZERS

• Antipasti platter – set this out when your guests arrive for an easy app!

• Cranberry Brie Cheese – add this fancy cheese to your antipasti platter

• Cranberry Turkey Mini Meatballs – have these on the side – how perfect!

• Fig & Olive Crisps – I love these because they’re 11 crackers for 90 cals!

• Cranberry Apple Salad – dip the crisps in there!

VEGGIE SIDES

• Frozen mashed cauliflower – this one is SO good and you can make it in the microwave, saving

• Roasted vegetables (in the prepared foods section) – this one is good as is! No other veggies or seasonings necessary

• Shaved Brussels – stir fry these on the stove top with an oil spray and a little blue cheese crumbles

• Cauliflower Gratin – more cheesy cauli goodness! Find it in prepared foods

• Green Beans – Stir fry with an oil spray and add some shaved almonds and the garlic salt seasoning!

• Cauliflower Rice Stuffing – can we get enough cauliflower?! 🤩

STARCHY SIDES

Yes, these are not low-carb 🙃 but I know I’ll get questions about them, so including some here!

• Holiday Herbed Rolls – these smell and taste just like “the holidays”!

• Butternut Squash Chunks – Roast these at 400 degrees for 30 minutes – SO yummy

THANKSGIVING MUST-HAVES

• Cranberry sauce (fresh) – they also have an orange zest flavored cranberry sauce in the prepared foods section, YUM

• Frozen cauliflower-rice stuffing – Love this low carb stuffing alternative!

• Kettle Cooked Turkey Gravy (fresh, they also have a vegan option) – find this in the prepared foods section

• Fried onions – Are you surprised these are on here? I actually think they’re not so bad! Add them to the green beans above

WHOLE-TURKEY ALTERNATIVES

First of all, you can get a full turkey to cook at Trader’s – but I don’t think that’s necessary, especially with all of these other options!

• Grilled chicken strips – These are my faves all year round

• Turkey & Stuffing En Croute – definitely more fancy and festive!

DESSERTS

• Oatmeal raising cookies – one of my all time faves! So many cookies per serving, too

• Apple Cider Cookies – definitely fall!

• Ginger Snaps – Love these! So many snaps per serving

OTHER & DRINKS

• Cranberry Apple Juice + Prosecco – make a little cocktail with these two! Add a stalk of fresh rosemary to make it extra festive

• Herbs de Provence & Poultry Mix – add these to veggies or the turkey

• Cranberries – use these as decorations!

• Berry bouquet & plants – if you can’t bring a food to share, plants work well!
