As someone who would likely never complain about having access to Thanksgiving flavors year-round, there’s still something nice about building up the anticipation. As fall settles in, the leaves change color and a cool, crisp breeze fills the air, nothing compares to complementing those things with the aromas and flavors that make up some of our favorite seasonal recipes. From Grandma’s famous casserole to the internet’s latest trending creation, fall brings with it some of the best eats of the year.
While browsing my local Trader Joe’s for this week’s latest batch of limited finds, I caught myself searching for a familiar favorite—TJ’s Chicken Pot Pie. But to my surprise, an unexpected alternative was sitting right beside it, seemingly hitting shelves before even being listed on the site: Trader Joe’s Turkey Pot Pie. Given my love for all things holiday meals—and my soft spot for anything that combines multiple ingredients into one hot dish topped with a light, crispy crust—I was sold before I even made it to the checkout.

Turkey Pot Pie, $8.99 at Trader Joe's
Trader Joe’s Turkey Pot PiePriced at $8.99, Trader Joe’s Turkey Pot Pie clocks in at a hefty 22-ounces and can easily feed up to a family of four people. It’s packed with chunks of real white turkey meat, a mix of root veggies, a creamy sauce, sweet-and-savory stuffing made with cranberries and a rich turkey gravy—all topped off with a light, flaky puff pastry crust. It’s equal parts delicious and effortlessly nostalgic, ranking in easily as one of my all-time favorite seasonal picks.
When it comes to hearty meals that fill you up—and maybe even leave you in a bit of a food coma—pot pies are where it’s at. As someone who loves a ready-to-eat option that can sit in the fridge until you’re ready to bake, this one really delivers. It’s perfect for a solo dinner, with plenty of leftovers for the next day or two, or to portion out and serve for the whole family. And while it doesn’t quite look as tall and fluffy as the package photo once baked, it more than makes up for it in flavor and heartiness.

How to Make Trader Joe's Turkey Pot Pie
The moment TJ’s Turkey Pot Pie hits your local store, I’d recommend grabbing at least two if you’re stocking up for family meals. It’s an easy add to any weeknight rotation and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. You’ll usually find it in the refrigerated section, right alongside the premade wraps, burritos, and the newly popular Meatball Calzone.
However once it’s in your kitchen and you’ve got hungry mouths to feed, rest assured knowing that heating instructions couldn’t be any easier. Simply preheat your oven to 375°, remove the cardboard sleeve and peel off the plastic film, then bake on a baking sheet for about 25-minutes. You’ll know it’s ready to eat when the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Trader Joe’s Turkey Pot Pie, Detailed LookIn a rush? You can even microwave this sucker in a pinch, effectively cutting down the time between prep and eating like a mad kitchen scientist. Just remove the outer sleeve, lift one corner of the film and heat on high for 3–4 minutes—or until the internal temperature hits 160°F. Whether you go with the oven or the microwave, the last step should always be the same: let it sit for a few minutes before digging in to avoid any scorched mouths.
If you’re lucky enough to spot this limited find early, take it as your sign to grab one—maybe even two if you’ve got a few mouths to feed. Even frozen, Trader Joe’s pot pies heat up just like a refrigerated one—the oven temperature stays the same, though you may need to double the baking time and cover the top with foil to prevent the crust from burning. If you go this route, no need to worry about missing a restock—you can have a backup ready in the freezer once the first one is gone.
