Perdue Thanksnuggets get a flavor boost with holiday dipping sauces, Thanksdippings

As the Thanksgiving feast approaches, Perdue is giving everyone many reasons to be thankful. The Perdue Thanksnuggets and new holiday dipping sauces, Thanksdippings, are reasons to spread the gratitude. With no turkey turmoil coming from the kitchen, this holiday food solution is a reason to cheer.

This Thanksgiving holiday, even more so than previous years, might be filled with more frustration than frivolity. From food shortages to reconnecting with family, that meal around the table might have an extra helping of tension.

Perdue wants to simplify the holiday experience. Instead of debating turkey brining versus roasting or dressing versus stuffing, it is time to cut to the chase and just put the poultry on the plate.

Last year, Perdue released its Thanksnuggets to a rousing success. The shaped nuggets featured both white and dark meat. For anyone craving turkey and simplicity, these Thanksnuggets were a reason to be grateful.

How do the holiday dipping sauces, Thanksdippings, pair with Perdue Thanksnuggets?

Although many people have their preferred dipping sauce for a chicken nugget, the reality is that turkey and Thanksgiving is a food feast and deserves a bigger flavor. With the holiday dipping sauces, Thanksdippings, Perdue captures the flavors of the season.

According to Jon Swadley, VP of Marketing, Perdue Premium Prepared Foods, “We were inspired to create this fun complement to THANKSNUGGETS by listening to consumers’ reactions to the launch of these unique nuggets last year. People wanted to know what they should dip the seasonal nuggets in, and some even offered creative suggestions. This year, we’ve been able to answer that call by including dipping sauces with the THANKSNUGGETS sold on PerdueFarms.com, as well as providing recipe suggestions for those who’d like to prepare their own sauces at home – making the ideal pairings to pack all the best flavors of Thanksgiving into a few bites!”

The Thanksdippings holiday dipping sauces are described as “Spiced Apple Honey Mustard, inspired by herb and apple stuffing, and CranBBQ Sauce, which adds a dash of smokiness to the traditional Thanksgiving cranberry sauce.” While these special sauces are part of a promotion, the reality is that some food flavor experts might try to recreate these ideas at home.

For example, a CranBBQ Sauce sounds like a great idea for a smoked turkey. Although jellied cranberries can be controversial, the reality is that the flavors of tart cranberries in a BBQ sauce with a hint of smokiness has tremendous appeal. It could be the condiment that makes the leftover turkey sandwich a winner.

The same can be said for the Spiced Apple Honey Mustard. While somewhat similar to a flavor profile in that iconic Apple Pie Hot Dog recipe, the idea of apples and mustard really works. For people who are craving that flavor but want to skip the stuffing carbs, this flavor option could be a huge wine.

But, the only way to get the official Perdue Thanksdippings is with the purchase of the Thanksnuggets. They go on sale Friday, November 5 at 9 a.m. ET via PerdueFarms.com/THANKSNUGGETS. A 24-ounce bag retails for $14.99.

What do you think of these holiday dipping sauces? Should Perdue market them to save those dry turkeys that are served on Thanksgiving Day?
