Lean Cuisine says: Tender slices of roasted turkey tenderloins in a traditional gravy with stuffing, whipped potatoes and green beans accented with cranberries

Carolyn says: This meal seemed like it was trying to go for that Thanksgiving feel, and I was not sure what to expect because Thanksgiving doesn’t come in a cardboard container. The other problem is that I don’t really like green beans, but I decided to give it a whirl. To my suprise, the green beans ended up being my favorite part! The cranberries mixed in with (accenting) the beans disguised the taste of those vegetables just enough for me to really enjoy the sweet and salty combo. The turkey was moist yet flavorless and the potatoes were nothing exciting. Overall I vote for bypassing this meal, unless you have tried everything else and want something new.

I swear someone should just tell Lean Cuisine to leave those potatoes alone!

They have a great roasted turkey (low carb) meal with half the calories that just has the turkey and the stringbeans. That one I highly recommend. I eat it regularly for lunch — and with two glasses of water to wash down the sodium — I’m hardly hungry for hours.

I don’t eat any of the LC meals with potatoes. For some reason it just jacks up the salt content — and then they feel the need to add some sweet thing to it — whether it be cranberries or apples. Yuck.

I find it ironic that Lean Cuisine’s Chicken/Potato meals aren’t that much more nutritious/healthy than the regular Stouffer’s meals. Check it out: Stouffer’s Oven Baked Chicken Review.
