Episode 25: Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner Frodown

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

It’s the first ever Frodown (Frozen Food Throwdown) on Freezerburns.com and it is sure to not disappoint. 4 Turkey dinners are reviewed head to head to head to head. You asked for it, you got it. Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master eats all 4 meals in its entirety. Can he gobble it all down or will the turkey dinners leave a foul taste in his mouth?
In this episode I review and rate head to head to head to head:
Marie Callender’s Turkey Breast with Stuffing: 4 stars
Stouffer’s Roast Turkey Dinner: 3 1/2 stars
Swanson’s Roasted Carved Turkey: 1 1/2 stars
Banquet Turkey Meal: 1 1/2 stars

FreezerBurnsTM is a video review show on a mission to deliver you real reviews and real answers to one of life’s most stressful decisions: choosing the best frozen foods on the planet. Greg is the Frozen Food MasterTM and acts as both food critic and guinea pig. Join him every tuesday and friday as he eats his way through the freezer aisle one box at a time, only on Hungry Nation.

Whoa. Just whoa.

If you lived closer, I would speed over to your house with a handful of Alka Seltzer. You have stamina, that’s all I have to say.

Also, I LOVE the hat.

How the heck does Marie Calendars have so little sodium compared to the rest?!? Too funny on the one cranberry, I had one cranberry in my Lean Cuisine lunch the other day, with green beans.

Great blog!

I’m so relieved…my favorite meal as of late is the Marie Callender turkey dinner that you reviewed. It’s actually not disgusting unlike most of what I find in the freezer aisle.

As others have said here, god bless your intestines. You should setup a tip jar for liver and kidney transplant funding.

Well to be fair to the Marie Calender print on the box. While it is kind of sneaky, and there is a slight debate on this.. STUFFING is usually “dressing” that has been actually “stuffed” inside the turkey, and it is meant to be very moist, and have an extreme turkeyness(is that a word?). I honestly really like it. However, DRESSING is usually prepared on it’s own, and is served usually cooked in chicken stock or something like that. It should be a little drier. Both are really yummy. Anyway, just wanted to make that point. Great job, and man, kudos for eating that much stuff!

I have to agree with you, banquet meals are not even that good. I would agree with you for giving it barely any stars.

The Marie Callender’s has 40mg of cholesterol and 1340mg of sodium. In addition, I would not eat “all” of those meals; I would give them a good taste test. Go with God my son.

I'm leisurely stepping through your shows in no particular order. I must say, you really took took one for the team (viewers) on this show! You forced a lot of crud into your belly!

About your Marie Calender's 4 rating (I have not tried it). I do give it nods for being so low in sodium!

Stouffers, to me at least, seem to know a lot about putting basic good into their frozen food. If you ever tried their lasagna and Ravioli, they are a winner.

Banquet are ran by morons who actually mess up decent mashed potatoes.

I'll have to take your word on these. I can't eat them as I'm allergic to Celery.

Anyone that complains that only eating a few bites of something isn't enough to give a fair review doesn't know how real food tasters do it. When you are comparing several different food items they only take a few bites as well.

I can only tolerate the Swansons/Banquet dinners when I'm wasted. The Marie Callender's and Stouffer's are good for a quick turkey fix.
