My Favorite Parts of ALDI’s $47 Thanksgiving Dinner Bundle
After preparing and tasting each dish, I found a few standout items in the bundle that really brought the meal to life. Here are my top favorites:
The Star of the Show: The Turkey
The turkey was the biggest winner of the meal. It cooked up juicy and flavorful, and the size was perfect for serving everyone with leftovers to spare. To bring out its best, I used Stonemill Poultry Seasoning—a budget-friendly spice blend ($1.19 outside of the bundle) that truly elevated the flavor. With just the right mix of herbs, this seasoning made both the turkey and stuffing incredibly delicious.
Farm-Fresh Ingredients: Sweet Potatoes, Potatoes, Celery, and Onions
One of my favorite parts of this bundle is the inclusion of fresh produce. The sweet potatoes and regular potatoes were perfect for making homemade mashed potatoes and a traditional sweet potato casserole. The fresh celery and onions added depth and richness to the stuffing and green bean casserole, giving a homemade touch that made each bite taste fresh and comforting.
The Pillowy Sweet Rolls
ALDI’s L’Oven Fresh Hawaiian Sweet Rolls were a crowd favorite. They’re soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for sopping up gravy or making mini turkey sandwiches with leftovers. I’d suggest grabbing an extra package or two if you can—they were that popular, and they make post-Thanksgiving snacking all the more enjoyable!
The Pumpkin Pie
No Thanksgiving is complete without dessert, and this bundle gives you everything you need to make a delicious pumpkin pie from scratch. I used Baker’s Corner pumpkin purée ($1.15), a can of Baker’s Corner evaporated milk ($1.05), and Bakehouse Pie Crust ($1.99) to whip up a homemade pie with ease. I added a touch of bourbon to the filling (a personal twist), which gave it a unique, rich flavor. It turned out so good that my husband couldn’t resist a slice for breakfast the next day!
Final Thoughts
ALDI’s $47 Thanksgiving Dinner Bundle is truly a game-changer for hosting an affordable holiday meal. With quality ingredients, a thoughtful selection of sides, and everything you need for a delicious, classic spread, this bundle made hosting Thanksgiving easy and enjoyable.
