Costco’s meal kit comes with 11 items, including sides and dessert.[/caption]
The “Complete Gourmet Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner” comes with 28 pounds of food.
The meal kit is designed to serve eight people.
The Thanksgiving meal retails online for $269.99 but a limited time coupon can score you the kit for $199.99.
The manufacturer’s coupon provides shoppers $70 off from October 2 through November 30 while supplies last.
The meal comes with five pounds of all-natural, Amish-raised, free-range turkey breast.
The kit features five sides coming in at three pounds each.
The sides include mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet corn and St. Claire dressing/stuffing.
A 20 ounce pack of cranberry relish and 24 ounces of turkey gravy are also included.
“No Thanksgiving meal is complete with[out] rolls,” the retailer said, so shoppers can also expect 12 dinner rolls in the kit.
PIE PLEASE
Think they forgot about dessert?
Nope. Costco also offers two dessert options at two pounds each: a pumpkin pie and apple cobbler.
The meal kit ships within two to three business days.[/caption]
The meal kit is available only online and ships frozen through FedEx‘s second day air delivery.
Consumers can expect their delivery two to three business days after they order.
The shipping price is already included in the quoted price but an additional shipping and handling fee will apply to express shipments, the website noted.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
One Reddit user said in 2023 the kit may be ideal for young shoppers.
“I think an increasing number of young singles and couples are joining Costco, and this is not only economical but efficient,” the user wrote.
In 2023, another Redditor said “the flavor of everything was good,” but said the cooking instructions were hard to use as they were on the bottom of the items.
Another complaint was that each item required different temperatures to reheat, making it “a bit more work to determine how and when everything should be put in oven or on stove.”
Terri Peters, a writer for Business Insider, tried the meal kit in 2024.
Peters said she was emailed “easy-to-follow” instructions to reheat the meal after ordering.
“We spent no more than 30 minutes in the kitchen preparing the meal, as everything but the turkey came precooked,” she wrote. “My oven truly did all the work.”
Peters also appreciated not having to spend as much time in the kitchen cooking a meal for the holiday thanks to the meal kit.
“Having a bit of extra time to set the table allowed me to facilitate some great Thanksgiving memories for my family…”
