November grocery shopping has a way of turning into two separate lists: what you need for Thanksgiving and what you need to feed yourself during all the days leading up to it. Because apparently, planning one enormous meal doesn’t excuse you from making dinner on a Tuesday (sorry). Fortunately, this month’s Trader Joe’s finds cover a little of both for you.
There are seasonal shortcuts for anyone who wants the flavors of a holiday meal without committing to an entire turkey, plus ready-to-heat pasta for nights when the most ambitious thing you’re willing to do is find a fork. Cornbread muffins can pull double duty alongside a bowl of chili or in the Thanksgiving bread basket, while stuffing-inspired chicken sausages bring those familiar herbs and vegetables to breakfast if you just can’t get enough.

The snack situation deserves some attention, too…after all, this is Trader Joe’s! This lineup includes crunchy pineapple, spicy seaweed, and beef-filled dumplings with a crisp, lacy finish. And if your shopping list has a suspiciously large dessert section, there are peanut butter cookies, a hefty chocolate chip cookie and an apple panettone that already has shoppers talking about bread pudding. No judgment here. Dessert planning is still planning, amiright?
Below, you’ll find 12 Trader Joe’s buys to consider this month, with the details on what’s inside, how to serve them, and what the internet is saying. Several seasonal items are listed as available only through November or December, so keep those dates in mind as you shop. Now, about that Tuesday dinner…

While the individually wrapped eggs have drawn criticism online for their layers of plastic packaging, they have fans, too. “I add them to my sausage and pancakes, oh so so yummy!” says one Instagrammer. Find them for $3.99 for a 9.3-ounce package.
2. Just Like Your Grandma’s Stuffing Chicken Sausage

These fully cooked chicken sausages bring stuffing-inspired flavor to the table, with carrots, celery, caramelized onions, sage, thyme and rosemary. Heat them in the microwave or crisp them in a pan, then serve alongside scrambled eggs or pancakes. They’re available through the end of November. “I could see these as an appetizer ? cut and pan fried on top of the cornbread crisp? With cranberry jelly ?,” says one Instagram fan. Find them for $4.99 for a 12-ounce package in the refrigerated section.
3. Hane Style Beef Gyoza

These dumplings hold ground beef and shiitake mushrooms seasoned with green onion, sweet rice wine and soy sauce. Their distinguishing feature is the delicate, crisp layer that connects them after cooking. Prepare six at a time in a nonstick skillet, following the package directions to steam the dumplings and brown that lacy base. “I buy this style of Gyoza from Costco made by Ajinomoto and while those are great, these are better imo, because of the beef filling and its overall taste. Come out really well if you follow the directions, and look as good as you would find in a restaurant. I wish it came with a dipping sauce, but I have plenty of chilli oils to use,” says one Redditor. Find them for $3.69 for a 10.13-ounce package of 12 in the frozen section.

Produced in the Republic of Korea, these thin seaweed sheets get sweet and hot Korean barbecue-inspired seasonings before being toasted with sunflower and sesame oils. Each box contains six individually wrapped servings. Trader Joe’s suggests packing them in lunchboxes, serving alongside rice bowls or using them to scoop up sushi bakes. “I tried it. I really like it; it is very flavorful and kinda spicy. It would go well with rice and salmon like an onigiri ?,” says one Reddit fan. Find it for $3.99 for a 1.05-ounce box.

This refrigerated, heat-and-serve pasta combines spicy Italian sausage, broccolini and rigatoni with a creamy Parmesan-and-garlic sauce, finished with ricotta and black pepper. It heats in minutes in the microwave, with an oven option that takes a little longer. Instagrammer @traderjoesaficionado says, “How I’d jazz it up: ?️ Red pepper flakes for a little heat ? Extra freshly grated Parmesan ? A squeeze of lemon to brighten it up ? Some crusty garlic bread on the side!” Find it for $7.99 for a 16-ounce package in the refrigerated section.
