Trader Joe’s Has Released Turkey Stuffing Kettle Chips Just in Time for Thanksgiving

11/12/18 — A big, steaming casserole of stuffing is one of the first Thanksgiving side dishes to fly off the table. And for good reason: the crunchy yet chewy bread, the slight essence of turkey goodness, plus the blend of fall herbs? Irresistible. But it takes precious time and oven space to whip up stuffing just like grandma made.

So Trader Joe's translated similar flavors into a $1.99-per-bag, no-oven-required Thanksgiving snack that's flying off shelves already. Trader Joe's Turkey and Stuffing Seasoned Kettle Chips are made with crunchy kettle-cooked potatoes seasoned to taste like they're a complete Thanksgiving dinner drizzled in gravy. (Although one BHG.com editor compared the flavor to chicken ramen.)

Pro tip: Trader Joe's "try before you buy" policy allows you to sample any snack on shelves before committing to purchase. That means you can swing by your local store for a taste test to see if you'd like to add these to your Thanksgiving weekend snack spread, too.

Whatever you do, be sure to pair appropriately for the complete Thanksgiving experience.
