Thanksgiving travel plans canceled due to COVID-19? Whether you’re a college student, recently single, or just honoring the wishes of your family not to gather this year — whatever the reason you find yourself alone for Thanksgiving, there’s still time to visit your local Trader Joe’s and stock up on some festive turkey day offerings. And, if you don’t eat Turkey? Don’t worry, I’ve got vegan options covered as well!

This last-minute guide includes appetizers, main course, desserts, beverages and prices. Pick up one of TJ’s tasty salad kits to round out your meal and don’t forget some dinner rolls for making next-day turkey sliders with your leftovers.

Appetizers

TJ’s has the best appetizer assortment, especially for budget-conscious shoppers. Because we’ve had enough hassles this year, appetizers can be as simple as a mini charcuterie board for one featuring gourmet cheeses, pita crackers, fresh fruit and some chocolate. The goal is to SIMPLIFY!

TJ’s has endless appetizer selections and here are just a few of my favorites from the freezer section. These work well in the air fryer, conventional or toaster oven.
