Trader Joe's Sous Vide Turkey Breast Tenderloins

Well, shoot. I liked these quite a bit. I don't even know what sous vide (soo-veed) means. I even looked it up and I'm still confused. Rather than regurgitate what I just read on Wikipedia, I'll let you decipher the French phrase yourself...something about cooking meat for a long time at a low-ish temperature.

But all we had to do was heat these medallions up for 8 minutes or so in a sauce pan. When it's just two people, an entire turkey is overkill even for Thanksgiving. Trader Joe took away our Turkey & Stuffing En Croute, so what's a couple to do? This product was perfect.

But Thanksgiving is over, you say? Why review it now? Well, there are a few other holidays creeping up on us before the end of 2024, and this review will still be floating here in cyberspace when Thanksgiving 2025 rolls around. We're just here to tell you that Trader Joe's Sous Vide Turkey Breast Tenderloins get our seal of approval.

They didn't go crazy with seasoning here: just some soybean oil, onion, garlic, and salt. The meat was cooked to perfection, nice and even. It was all white meat, which I love. Even the little chunks of meat were convenient for serving and consuming. While they're more than a mouthful each, they were very easy to cut into smaller bite-sized pieces.

It was $8.99 for the package. Sonia and I ate our fill and still had some leftovers. It's obviously much less work than cooking a whole turkey and slightly cheaper. Plus, there's no greasy dark meat or bones to deal with. Would buy again. Sonia and I give Trader Joe's Sous Vide Turkey Breast Tenderloins 8 out of 10 stars.

Bottom line: 8 out of 10.
