This Sam’s Club Thanksgiving Shortcut Is Getting Wildly Good Reviews

For four years here in the UK, I lived with one of my closest friends, an American who introduced me to my very first Thanksgiving meal. And on that fateful night (and the Thanksgivings we subsequently had through the rest of our time living together), I got a good sense of how much work it is to bring it all together. It’s broadly the same with our Christmases: The turkey, the stuffing, the potatoes, the sides, the appetizers, the desserts. And the gravy. While I’m a full-throated advocate of making your own gravy if you can, sometimes…it’s a step too far.

Those who feel the same, and who have a Sam’s Club membership, will be very pleased about its latest drop. There’s a new gravy in town, and it’s getting an incredible response.

Sam’s Club Member’s Mark Homestyle Turkey Gravy 

As revealed by @samsclubfoodreview over on Instagram, Sam’s Club has just dropped its new Member’s Mark Homestyle Turkey Gravy. At $7.64 for two 24-oz. containers, it’s probably not going to be as cheap as making your own, but you get more than enough to go around here. Plus, Sam’s Club hasn’t skimped on genuine ingredients: This gravy is made with turkey dark meat, onion, celery, black pepper, and thyme.  

And listen, folks: By all accounts, this gravy’s a slam dunk. “It’s sooooo good,” “ITS SO GOOD THO,” and “I love it” were just three comments that have already popped up in praise of Member’s Mark Homestyle Turkey Gravy, which also currently boasts a duo of five-star reviews on its website. Early indications are positive here, and it seems as though Sam’s Club has nailed a homemade-like taste, without any of the effort of actually making it yourself. These are just the first responses out of the gate, of course, and there’s plenty of room for course correction as the days roll on – but it may have a winner on its hands. 

All Aboard The Gravy Boat

If you’re going to take any shortcuts with Thanksgiving this year – and lord knows everyone needs a bit of a helping hand with a meal like this – then buying a good gravy is probably going to give you the best bang for your buck. It can sometimes be an afterthought, but when it’s good, it’s the best part. When it’s bad, it can bring all of your hard work elsewhere down. So, it’s worth spending a little more and getting a tasty, pre-made version instead of just opting for the first packet you find.
