Thanksgiving 1978 - My Mother in law and My sister In Law had a knock down drag out fight on the floor of the kitchen, and my Father in Law jumped in for proper measure...all of this in front of my 2 year old son. Thanksgiving 1983 - My sister got totally s4it faced and told off the entire family and left the house with her husband at 3 am to drive back home (which was 1000 miles away). Thanksgiving 1990 - In our family 3 people have the same first name. I needed to get my brother's attention ( he is one that has the same name) and I used his first and middle name to get his attention. He hates his middle name. When he came into the kitchen he punched me hard in the arm... mind you we were both in our 30's at the time. Thanksgiving 2003 - Went to dinner at my parents' home with the whole fam damily. Dad was dying of cancer and was in a hospital bed in the living room. My brother was the main cook and he had 2 different dressings, one for his vegan daughter, and the other for the rest of us. I asked him his recipe for the vegan dressing because it tasted really good. He punched me in the arm and told me to shut up, because both dressings were the same. He was trying to fool his daughter into eating meat. Thanksgiving 2008 - Went to my brother's house (you know this is already starting out bad) and his wife was drunk and told me the whole miserable rotten story of their marriage, including their lack of a sex life. I have a Stouffer's lasagna in the fridge and I can make nice spinach salad this year as I eat it on an Aluminum TV tray and binge watch HULU. !!/:) Everyone have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving !

[@Greenscyth22]

How many pieces were advertised on the box art VS. how many pieces were actually in the meal? I swear these food manufacturers are getting away with murder when they under supply the meals with the signature item. If the box shows more than 5 pieces of turkey then it should HAVE at least 5 pieces of adequate size based off of the picture on the box...at LEAST. Or maybe manufacturers should start putting the number of actual signature food items in the list of ingredients? I'm just looking for honesty when I buy a frozen meal, that's all.

[@nightdrifter01]

When have you ever bought anything food wise that matched pictures or advertising?

[@Greenscyth22]

@@nightdrifter01 Yeah, some frozen burritos, and the occasional frozen pizza. It should have something close to what the picture shows. I'm not expecting an exact match of the image on the box though, just something close enough.

[@styx53ocean]

I've bought more than a few of the Stouffer's turkey dinners and it seems the amount of turkey can vary quite a bit. Some have only a few pieces; others have lots of turkey. Stouffer's does have the best mashed potatoes, though! Some of the other brands are gross.

If they added more turkey they would have to increase the price but everyone would cry and whine about how it was too expensive and not buy them anymore so because we're so ingrained to look for a cheap product we get a crappy product.

Then they need to stop putting so much turkey in the picture on the box.

A .50-$1.00 increase for more meat, I personally wouldn't complain about. Their frozen dinners are actually one of the few that's worth it.

I agree! Dark meat should be used. It's juicier and more flavorful and costs less. This dinner would be perfect with more turkey meat including dark meat and a little less potato and a bit drier stuffing.

[@grahvis]

White P11 I'm in the UK and when I have turkey, I get a turkey thigh joint from the local supermarket. Plenty of tender, moist dark meat and just a nice size for one person.

[@Ray.Norrish]

It's because people think they are getting something of quality. They don't know and the white meat is still injected with water and filler, even though it looks legit. Don't forget that these "meals" are targeting a specific demographic, many of which will be quite happy with what they get for the money - irrespective of the quality.

[@Telcomvic]

I love the smaller version of this meal and always keep one in the freezer for a quick lunch. I think Stouffer's has the best whipped potatoes of all the frozen meals.

We use precooked items as I am disabled and not up to cooking a lot. Boston Market and Marie Callenders are good and go on sale frequently. Also, Schwan's has very good frozen items. If you sign up they email you what is on sale. If you preorder you get 5 percent back or I think 10 percent if you have AARP. If you are a new customer you can check on the internet for new customer codes that take anywhere from 30-50 percent off your first order. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

[@craigfields9738]

i just had this and it was really good. my croutons were dry and crunchy and i added the pats of butter to the potatoes along with some grinds from the pepper grinder as well over the whole thing, you don't need salt. Remember the second time in the MW is to be uncovered completely. There is plenty of gravy and plenty of meat to satisfy me anyway since I can't handle too much meat, very good, just a bit expensive. Also, the celery was still crunchy, very nice.

[@steveorondinelli4783]

[@DOSBoxMom]

An easy way to add more veggies to this meal (a common problem with frozen entrees) would be to get one of those shrinkwrapped microwavable sweet potatoes from the produce department (they nuke right in the shrinkwrap), or possibly a small package of frozen vegetables (either something packaged as single-serve, or one of those approx. 10 oz. boxed Green Giant frozen vegetable sides. (Even one of those 12 oz. "steamable" bags of frozen veggies wouldn't be bad, if you liked that kind of vegetable.) Then add a small container of cranberry-orange relish from the deli, or a can of cranberry sauce (there will be leftovers), and a single-serve slice of pie from the frozen foods aisle, and you're ready to feast!

Got the Boston Market Meal you reviewed. The amount of Turkey was one step above that little square of Pork Fat you get in Canned Pork and Beans.

[@FormerRuling]

Where I'm from (Rural GA) the words "dressing" and "stuffing" are definately NOT the same thing and do not depend on where its cooked. Dressing is made out of crumbled cornbread. Stuffing (which is still stuffing even when not cooked in something) is made out of bread croutons and also tends to have more herbs in it. You typically make both as some family always prefers one over the other.

[@CherokeeOutlaw1986]

So I used to watch this guy on here named "Greg The Frozen Food Master". He quit because of his lack of passion and newly found despise of frozen food. I was dicking around on here a few days ago, and discovered your channel doing food reviews. Hey Wolfe, you impress me. I enjoy the simple, down to earth reviews. That's the country in you I assume. ;) .Anyway, happy holidays man. Crack a beer open, and celebrate. You deserve it.

[@CherokeeOutlaw1986]

What you do that Greg didn't do is keep an open mind. Greg subconsciously thought to himself that if he paid less for something, it automatically would taste like shit. He's mostly right on that, but in all honesty, to expect mastery in a lab produced frozen product is a tad unrealistic.

[@RobHoffman83]

The Stouffer's needs baked in the oven for the stuffing to dry out a little.

[@geezermann7865]

I agree, should be called "with turkey medallions". Hey, what's with the fork? Be a man and use a spoon. A BIG spoon. I use the biggest soup spoon I have, and pile everything on for each big bite. Holds the gravy better too.

[@rhonda90402]

This is my favorite frozen turkey dinner but I cook some frozen peas to eat with it too.

[@realmanpwns]

Technically the difference between stuffing and dressing is... Stuffing is cooked inside the turkey (or chicken) and dressing is cooked in a dish in the oven (or stove top) no matter the recipe.

[@douglaszavala428]

Frozen dinner should now be required to have a “TheWolfePit Approved” sticker haha

[@TheRealNormanBates]

I guess when these dinners have "suggested servings", what they mean is they are suggesting the possibility of turkey being present to serve. 5:25 so what you're saying is: you are willing to suck the gravy off so we can see how big your piece of meat is? I would say that piece of meat is... adequate.

[@tonyjackson1636]

These large portion individual dinners can be a crapshoot. I LOVE the chicken/broccoli alfredo. It does need salt and pepper, but you have to understand what's too much/not enough seasoning for you is not enough/too much for others. The base level flavor is good. I'd give Stouffers a 8 out of ten automatically every time for consistency and out of the package flavor.

[@twocvbloke]

Gotta love the lawmakers over there, making sure companies can legally cut back on the main ingredients and replace them with fillers, but still allowed to call it a turkey dinner... :P

Agreed - Bring on the Dark Meat

[@CaptOrbit]

Stouffer's doesn't screw around when it comes to quality. They tend to give you high quality ingredients but not a lot of the high-quality ingredients that you probably want. Like in this video, you get some pretty decent turkey and also some really good mashed potatoes. Even high quality mashed potatoes don't cost that much to do right so you get a lot more of something like that and a lot less turkey. Still, I think I'd rather go for the quality over some of the bottom of the barrel stuff other manufacturers go with.
