While many home cooks might have good intentions of cooking the perfect turkey, sometimes that food feast turns into a slightly less tasty meal. With the fan-favorite DiGiorno Thanksgiving Pizza, all those iconic flavors are transformed into a much more manageable slice.

Thanksgiving food is often the love to hate meal. Some people might long for the perfectly succulent bird, carefully sliced and presented to the table. Others might cringe at the thought of cooking poultry after a cooking disaster.

Luckily, there are more options than calling the turkey hotline for handholding. Sometimes a little food ingenuity is all that it takes to satisfy people’s holiday craving and avoids worrying about the drama of cooking every dish.

The DiGiorno Thanksgiving Pizza is back for a limited time. For those who may not remember this special pie, it has everything that people want but it only takes a small amount of time to cook. Unlike Rachel’s Trifle, this plate will not get people laughing when it is presented to guests.

For this holiday offering, DiGiorno starts with a Detroit Style crust. That dough it topped with roasted turkey, gravy sauce, green beans, cranberries, cheddar cheese and crispy onion topping.

Needless to say, this food combination is the ultimate leftover bite. It basically brings everything together, except the mashed potatoes. Maybe next time DiGiorno will use a potato based crust.

The most polarizing aspect to this pizza is the cranberries. That ingredient might not be as divisive as anchovies, but the sweet tart flavor with all the other ingredients can be a little much for some. While the idea is for the brightness to cut through the rich flavors, it will take a little time to appreciate.

On the other hand, the crispy onion topping is a good idea. Even though the cheddar cheese adds a gooey factor, the crispy texture adds to overall eating satisfaction. Yes, the little details matter.

For anyone who does not want the oven to run all day long, consider the DiGiorno Thanksgiving Pizza. It is only available at the Kroger Family of Stores. The suggested retail price is $9.99, but it may vary depending on location.
