Retailers are dropping Thanksgiving baskets left and right, and even though Thanksgiving is late this year, it’s not too early to start planning. If you don’t need to feed a full ten people — as Walmart’s Thanksgiving bundle aims to do — but rather a smaller crowd, Target will help you nail that goal for only $20. Here’s everything you need to know about the Target Thanksgiving meal grocery package this year.
What’s the Target Thanksgiving Meal Deal?
Every year, Target puts together a Thanksgiving grocery basket meal bundle for a set price, just as stores like Walmart and Aldi do. The basket includes a minimal selection of Thanksgiving classics, this time tailored for a small family or group.
What’s Included in the Target Thanksgiving Meal Deal?
Target has seven items in the basket this year, the same as last year. Here are the ingredients provided:
- Good & Gather Premium Basted Young Turkey (Frozen, up to 10 lb.)
- Good & Gather Russet Potatoes (5 lb. bag)
- Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce (14 oz.)
- Stove Top Stuffing Mix (6 oz.)
- Heinz Home Style Roasted Turkey Gravy (12 oz.)
- Favorite Day Soft French Bread
- Good & Gather Frozen Corn
It looks like with this basket you can make a turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, and… corn.
In 2024, Target’s basket included a can of Del Monte cut green beans and Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup, notably absent this year. In their place, they’ve added the frozen corn and French bread. So, if you’re craving green bean casserole, you may need to splurge for those extra ingredients.
How Many People Does it Feed?
According to Target, the meal will feed four people. You could double it to feed eight, but at that point, you’re paying as much as Aldi or Walmart.
While this doesn’t come with as much food as the other baskets, it’s nice to see actual brands like Heinz and Ocean Spray here, especially considering Walmart decided to drop name brands from its Thanksgiving basket this year and instead features store brands. Plus, if you’re comparing store brands, Target’s Good & Gather house brand usually makes better stuff than Walmart’s Great Value brand.
How Much Does It Cost?
For 2025, Target’s Thanksgiving meal deal will cost only $20. That’s about $5 per person; not bad. Of course, that price is before taxes and doesn’t include any fees for grocery delivery—or any additional items you might need for your meal. And don’t forget that turkey prices can vary, since it’s sold by weight.
Are There Other Target Thanksgiving Food Deals?
Target has a slew of Thanksgiving deals this year, including discounts on things like pies, Good & Gather empanadas, and pre-made veggie dishes.
Prices and discounts vary by store and location; check your local Target to see what deals are available this year.
