"In our ranking of 17 different Trader Joe's Thanksgiving products, the brand's Cornbread Stuffing with dried cranberries, roasted apples, and savory herbs came in last place. Don't be fooled by the tasty description and misleading photograph on the front of the box. A sweet and savory cornbread stuffing sounds delicious, but all we tasted with this box was salt. In fact, it was so salty that the sweet and bright cranberries and caramelized roasted apples were completely lost."
"But that wasn't the worst part. Where many stuffings are prone to drying out, TJ's Cornbread Stuffing had the opposite problem. We oven-baked the stuffing instead of microwaving it to achieve a crispy top, but even the dry heat of the oven couldn't penetrate the wet mush that this stuffing turned out to be. The texture was gummy, mushy, and almost congealed. Save yourself (and your Thanksgiving guests) the displeasure of eating salty glue by skipping this cornbread offering."
Trader Joe's offers a broad seasonal lineup that includes convenience-focused Thanksgiving items. The Cornbread Stuffing with dried cranberries, roasted apples, and savory herbs ranked last among 17 holiday products due to overwhelming saltiness that masked the sweet cranberries and caramelized apples. The product exhibited an undesirable texture, remaining wet, gummy, and almost congealed even after oven-baking intended to crisp the top. Multiple customers on Reddit reported similar issues, describing the mix as moistened or soggy. Although some consumers liked the flavor, many found the seasoning and texture unsuitable for a Thanksgiving side.
