8 Surprising Foods that Taste Like Thanksgiving

 

Most people only enjoy one Thanksgiving feast each year. But some companies offer products that extend the Thanksgiving flavors beyond the traditional dinner. Here are eight unusual items that have been released in the past to capture the essence of the Thanksgiving table.

Tofurky & Gravy Soda

Soda drinkers who love Thanksgiving dinner has their wildest dreams come true when Jones Soda Co. rolled out Tofurky & Gravy Soda a few years ago. This flavor was vegan-friendly and sugar-free. In 2004, the company offered a five-pack of sodas that included the following flavors: Green Bean Casserole, Mashed Potato & Butter, Fruitcake, Cranberry and Turkey & Gravy.

Turkey Dinner Layer Cake

What looks like a cake is actually alternating layers of stuffing and ground turkey mixed with instant oatmeal, "frosted" with mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, and topped with lightly browned mini marshmallows. Sure, it may seem appealing at first glance, but we think we'll stick with compartmentalizing our food.

Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts

Kellogg's Pop-Tarts has a limited-edition flavor, Frosted Pumpkin Pie, available through mid-December. The baked breakfast pastry is filled with a sweet mixture of pumpkin pie, nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove, and finished with iced frosting and autumn-colored sprinkles.

Pumpkin Pie Fortune Cookies

If you're feeling lucky this Thanksgiving, try the pumpkin pie–flavored fortune cookies from Fancy Fortune Cookies. Made with real pumpkin, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg, the cookies come covered in dark, milk, or white chocolate and contain one of five custom fortune cookie messages inside.

Turkey Gravy Cranberry Cupcake

The treat features a turkey-flavored cake that’s baked with savory turkey gravy, filled with cranberry relish, and topped with cranberry cream cheese. There are three other unique Thanksgiving flavors: Marshmallow Yam, Apple Pie, and Pumpkin Pie.

Lay’s Turkey Potato Chips

This savory chip is only available in China, which is too bad, because they really do taste like turkey with gravy!

Roasted Turkey Doritos

These festive snacks aren’t available in the U.S., you can easily find them in Taiwan.

Mashed Potatoes and Gravy Jelly Beans

Although weirdly tasty on their own, the potatoes and gravy combined will give you the full holiday effect.
