Take & Bake Brie A guest favorite and hands-down best-seller for the holidays, our Take & Bake Brie is the supreme, easy entertaining appetizer to kick things off for Friendsgiving. Prepared in store and wrapped in a buttery puff pastry, this creamy imported brie serves 4-6 people and is topped with a combination of fruit preserves and almonds or walnuts and is available in flavors including Apricot Almond, Strawberry Walnut or Raspberry Almond. Or try our new flavor, Bourbon Pecan Apple Pie, creamy brie wrapped in buttery puff pastry with a delicious combination of old-fashioned apple butter and bourbon pecans.

Chefs Tip: For a perfectly puffed and evenly browned exterior—in much less time—pop our Take & Bake Brie in the air fryer. Like convection ovens, air fryers cook faster and more efficiently than conventional ovens. Fifteen minutes at 350°F is all you need.

Turducken Bring on the birds! Perfect for those indecisive and meat-loving friends, turducken is the ultimate, un-traditional entrée for Friendsgiving. It’s handmade in store and consists of a boneless duck breast stuffed inside a boneless chicken breast stuffed inside a boneless turkey breast. It’s also packed with garlic and herb dressing and Andouille sausage throughout for even more flavor. Our Turduckens are made fresh in store so see your neighborhood butcher for availability. Want to try it but not sure how to cook it? Try our recipe for Turducken with Bourbon and Thyme Gravy.

3. Take shortcuts. We offer a variety of pre-washed, cut-in-store vegetables, so you don’t have to chop, slice, dice and clean up the leftovers. Remember, not everything has to be made entirely from scratch in order to be delicious. Discover ways you can save time without sacrificing quality or flavor.

4. Rethink the menu. This doesn’t have to be your traditional Thanksgiving meal. Chances are, your friends will be having turkey and dressing on Turkey Day, so why not mix up the menu? Try proteins, spices and preparations you wouldn’t typically employ. Keep it fun, fresh and creative!

5. Don’t forget the music! A fun gathering calls for fun music, which also helps set the tone for the meal. Keep your playlist casual and upbeat—think Motown and classic oldies with some modern tunes mixed in.

Pro Tip: Ask your friends to bring food containers so they can take leftovers home with them.
