7 Course Trader Joe's Thanksgiving Dinner (Easy Vegan Recipes)

[@suzybrat2945]

I almost made that same mistake with the stuffing. The cashier saved me. She saw a theme with my basket, that everything was vegan. And she informed me. I was so happy she did.

[@4amstorm]

That’s so sweet of her!

[@dkaulitz13]

Omg that was sooo awesome of her!!! Most people don't even notice those things!

[@Araielle]

As the only vegan in my family who usually spends Thanksgiving alone, I always want a good meal, but also don't want to put hours of effort into something for just me. This is PERFECT & I am so thankful for you two & TJ's lol

[@jessicah2703]

I'm not sure what Trader Joe's policy is, but many stores have to throw away food that is returned due to company policy and for safety concerns. Maybe consider giving the stuffing to a non-vegan/vegetarian friend so it doesn't go in the trash!

[@sarahhall3322]

I work for Trader Joe’s and they donate any unopened food to homeless shelters! Otherwise we open and compost the food itself :)

[@jessicah2703]

@@sarahhall3322 that's fantastic to hear! Thanks for the intel ☺️

[@samfogarty4890]

If it is returned, at least during COVID-times, it will be destroyed. If it remains in the store and is just damaged/something is "off" with it, then it is donated :) Hope it helps!

[@-Oddish-]

Or donate!

Apologies if this has been mentioned before -- FWIW: the Triple Ginger Brew has honey in it. The Pumpkin Spiced Ginger Brew is made without honey though (although I think it's done for the season)

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Aw damn!! We didn’t realize. Yeah we were looking for the pumpkin one but got this when we couldn’t find it ☹️

[@tabithajamesolanim6816]

I was at a loss for what to make this year and this video helped me so much! And now I’m hungry 🤣

[@Mars-mg3zi]

Since I won't be visiting family for Thanksgiving and cooking for a big group this year, this was so helpful! I've been trying to figure out what makes sense for two people- like go all out or do nothing at all, and this is a great middle ground

[@cindyp.9030]

I am the only vegan in my family so I am always looking for things I can make for our holiday dinners. You have given me several ideas to make. Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving in advance.

[@marisapieper7734]

I stan you guys and Trader Joe's so any vids containing TJ's are my fav!!! Love you guys!!

[@TheBlacktressDiaries]

It's a sweet potato casserole 😊 . Sweet potato pie is essentially just like pumpkin pie but with sweet potatoes (and better 😉) and typically a Southern thing. Awesome video! Everything looks delicious

[@fionawynnedillon]

Could you tell us what the total cost of the dinner was? Looks good, guys!

[@amandamontgomery7059]

Now THIS is what I need I am so excited

[@margarett_b]

Not celebrating Thanksgiving and not having access to TJ where I live but still, I loved the video! Fun ideas, lovely fall flavours and just cozy recipes! I hope you've had a lot of fun making this video and eating all these dishes afterwards! . Sending you all the love! Stay safe and have a great rest of the week!

[@Angelas.Eye_]

Thank you so much for this video, wow! This will be so helpful for my holiday cooking, I love to cook but tbh I just don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen this year. So excited to try out a bunch of these recipes :)

[@SinMiedo071811]

I’ve done that with the cornbread stuffing too. Don’t feel bad! I hope they can be more specific on the contains label in the future.

[@MISSJOEJONAS9788]

I love this video! It's a great idea to make a kinda semi-homemade meal for thanksgiving - especially considering COVID and how many people are not traveling for the holidays. I am gonna take some of these ideas for my thanksgiving dinner which is just my boyfriend and myself since we won't visit family. Thanks!

[@onthegovegan2619]

This is my 1st year being vegan and this video was extremely helpful. I’m just going to resort to making some vegan side dishes. Thank you ❤️

[@sarahdee374]

I love Trader Joe's balsamic glaze. It would be great drizzled on the grain salad, or the stuffed squash. Great idea using hummus as a cream sauce base!

[@jennifermartin4564]

I just found your recipe for green bean casserole. I can’t wait to try it as I was thinking that would be the side I missed most. Thank you!

[@KikiAndJeffreyPearl]

Great Timing, Karen was just checking a store on the mainland for the Tofurkey Holiday Roast, We are on Block Island heading to Long Island for a Vegan Thanksgiving, and no Whole Foods anywhere between on ferry to the next. BUT, found, a great Organic/Health Food store store, FiiddleHeads.

[@natalieciarricco7295]

one of my favorite additions to butternut squash soup is diced granny smith apples-SO AMAZING

[@sabrinamo9003]

You two quickly became one of my favourite KZbin channels. Love from Germany🥰

[@daniellepulford3901]

hey guys! sending love from the UK! 🇬🇧 we don't have thanksgiving over here, but these recipes look so delicious I'm going to try them anyway😁

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Thanks so much for still watching!! We hope you enjoy 😋

[@miss_m_yt]

The dessert looks amazing! Also tjs has a fresh cranberry sauce in the refrigerated section which is supposed to be better than the jarred one.

[@cindyp.9030]

We love the cranberry orange relish they have. One of my families favorites.

[@4dultw1thj0b]

Ahh that hummus green bean casserole sounds very clever

[@dcdukes6276]

This is awesome especially when you’re the only vegan in your family 😄

[@Citygirl3487]

I have a box of the cornbread stuffing in my pantry and didn't even think to check the label for chicken broth! So glad you pointed it out. I just looked at the cooking instructions on my box and it sounds like the seasoning is in a separate packet, so I'm hoping that's true and I can just throw out the packet and still use the croutons.

[@flow4458]

For real? An animal died for that, why would you throw it away? At least give it to a non-vegan friend or family member.

[@Citygirl3487]

@@flow4458 I don't think that anyone will want the seasoning packet, but if they do, I'm happy to give it to them.

[@flow4458]

@@Citygirl3487 I just can't understand how you could throw away a dead chicken...like it literally died for you, even though you're vegan...

[@veganryori]

@@flow4458 you're a new vegan aren't you? Being an ass to other vegans does not make vegans look good. And when vegans make other vegans look bad, more animals die. Remember that. And no, this is not me being an ass to you, this is me giving you advice you really need.

[@flow4458]

@@veganryori I don't get why more animals should die when vegans aren't kind to another, but okay... Also, I am just trying to understand, how someone strictly refuses to eat animals because they would get killed for that purpose and then buys something that contains meat and literally just throws it away to not eat the animal product. That's fucking disrespecting and a behaviour I expect from strict meat-eaters. I am just asking questions, so I'm really sorry if you can't understand that, but I believe you really needed that information.

[@robinesak7819]

This was very helpful. Options for non-cooks are always a winner. 😊🥇

[@SaucyGalMakeup]

What an amazing video idea!! I wish I had a Trader Joe's near me! Has anyone done this video but with Aldi or another store? I can't wait to try some of these!! ❤❤

[@leanneb9529]

Well done...looks delish👏👍👏💖

[@contessamonet4329]

Loved the video, great job! You guys put so much work into your videos and it really shows! You should consider reviewing holiday candy, there are brands (no whey, enjoy life, NETO, etc) coming out with new vegan holiday candies that look good but not sure if they are with the price.

[@raininghispresence4188]

Love your Thanksgiving recipes. You guys are so good at this. Showing my non vegan grandchildren love some of these recipes. ❤

[@rockymountainmomma5551]

OMG! I made the same mistake you did! After reading the box again when you said that I got so sad. Just another reminder that you have to read ALL the ingredients! Live and learn.

[@hellosharon]

This is fantastic! The frozen sweet mashed potatoes look super easy!

[@buildanadventure]

I'm so incredibly excited about this. Thanks, y'all

[@CrunchyScott]

Great idea to put the cauliflower stuffing into a squash. I at it plain the other night and I could not get the overpowering taste of onion outta my mouth! It was tasty - but really really really onioneeeeey:-) Happy Thanksgiving!

[@dahlq613]

I hate cooking, but I saw this video, went to Trader Joe’s (and ALDI bc some stuff was there too just a different brand) and bought a few of these things and COOOKED! I set my sweet potatoes on fire because I forgot i was broiling marshmallows and I accidentally left my squash in the oven for several hours BUT a lot of it turned out. Was so grateful for this video!!!

[@landesnorm]

Nice job prepping and cooking. Too bad TJoes doesn't have curb-side pick-up!

[@sandratessem9980]

Love the vegan turkey and cranberry relish

[@peacefeline1107]

Darn, I wish that I had seen this before I went to Trader Joe’s today. It is 45 minutes away so I won’t be going back anytime soon ☹️ Today I bought the almonds cover in sesame seeds and I knew that it had honey but didn’t know that it had butter til we got home. We are trying the roast for the first time because I cannot find Tofurky roasts ANYWHERE! Love the short cuts in this video!

All of these looked so good! I have a question about the roast, do you guys think it is spicy? I’ve purchased it years before and when I’ve tasted I remember it being kind of spicy. It’s so good but problem with that is that my family is anti-spicy. Like we can’t even use black pepper- they are too sensitive. What do you guys think?

Wow! That is quite the feast. Great video.

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Great video and it was unfortunate about the mistake Jasmine and Chris made with the Chicken stuffing mix it's a comfort knowing you're human and make mistakes like others have. For example there's a brand of apple crumble/apple crisp in the UK and it's vegan but i once bought the same brands apple pie and then discovered it contained buttermilk but just in case the store didn't resell it because this was in my early days of being vegan (4 years ago) I just decided to eat it and just didn't buy it again after that.
