HORMEL COMPLEATS Turkey & Dressing Microwave Tray, 10 oz. (6 Pack)

I like it. I will buy it again. I rarely eat Hormel Compleats as shelf stable meals in tiny portions don't really do it for me. But I bought these on a whim. I am looking to make a more robust pantry with a wider variety of items that include shelf stable meals like this. For ultra convenience, for emergency, for getting ahead of inflation and shortages. Just want something to eat. Heated is best, but could be consumed at room temp too. I really expected the worst. I know I had one of their concoctions several years back and didnt care for it. But I gave this a go (impulse purchase), and was pleasantly surprised by the rather good taste, an overall good texture. The stuffing is more of a gravy blob, but there are bits of celery or something that add to the texture. I really liked it. The turkey is a compressed patty that will flake apart or stay together depending on how you cut into it (no knife needed, very soft). Similar to canned turkey or chicken. At least is isnt a sponge loaf of unknown origin. I could tell it was turkey. Can't beat the prep time. Just a minute give or take in the microwave. Stack these puppies high in the cupboard and you've got an easy meal anytime. If you have a big appetite like me then I would flesh it out with some noodles, mashed potatoes, rice or something bulky like that. Ooh maybe some toast or a good hunk of bread. Then maybe a vegetable if you have any. But if you are a light eater or someone who simply doesnt eat much yet wants the convenience and the variety (looking at you seniors!) then this is an option. No need to fuss. I imagine perception of taste will vary. I cant say these are the new Holy Grail of shelf stable quick meals. But they have their place in my home and in my belly.

For $2 this is a great quickie meal . I've tried all of the COMPLEATS meals and this one is my favorite. It tastes good, has a long non-refrigerated shelf life and is super easy to prepare.

This has a single slice of shaped meat, but it actually tastes like Turkey. The Dressing is kind of mushy, but the flavor works well in combination with the Turkey when the slice is cut up into pieces. More of a snack than a meal, but, all in all, a pretty good dish for a low price.

I could not wait for Thanksgiving this year I had to have some turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy today! This microwaved meal heats up in about 1 1/2 minutes (1 minute in my microwave was not enough but maybe it will be for you) and then you let it sit for 1 minute before eating. I got some Ocean Spray canned jellied cranberry sauce and I was happy as could be having my own little Thanksgiving meal! You could add in some heated green beans and any other fixings you want like Jell-O salads. I thought the turkey itself had a good firm texture and the gravy was delicious. The stuffing has celery in it so a little bit of crunch too. Overall I'd say I was very satisfied with this meal and it was way quicker than cooking a whole turkey! I did not find this overly salty at all and even added a little of my own seasoning salt - just a small shake of the salt shaker. ~The Rebecca Review

These products are not what they used to be. They're not full cooked, taste like cardboard, and are now off of my emergency supplies list.

Compleats Turkey & Dressing are one of my favorites. I eat various Compleats meals several times a week. They are shelf stable and can be ready in a couple of minutes. The meat is turkey loaf and there is a lot of it. I prefer it over the chicken breast one. The dressing has real crunchy celery in it. I break up the turkey and add black pepper midway in the microwave time. I find most frozen one serving lunch option don't do well in the micro wave and you need to cook them in the oven for a half of an hour or more. The Compleats cook in a minute in the micro wave and come out great. I recommend the Turkey & Dressing.

Convenient quick tasty low cal meal….. haven’t look closely at ingredients for ‘unknowns’, which it is likely to have in order to be a ‘shelf stable’ pantry item rather than refrigerated, but for an occasional quick meal this is fine….

I was very surprised at the poor quality of this product. While I purchased a few of these over a couple of years I generally purchased them in local stores such as Walmart and a couple of grocery stores. I decided to purchase a couple of multiple packs from Amazon only to find the meals were very stale and very poor quality. While I locally purchased 2 or 3 a week while living and working in the forest four months a year I enjoyed them and found them easy to use without special storage. I never got a response on why the on line multipack were so bad while the singles packages purchases from local stores were very difference.
