What are Limited Edition Roasted Turkey Pringles?
Just in time for Thanksgiving prep, Pringles has dropped a roast turkey-flavored version of its potato crisps.
I have Thanksgiving-flavored-PTSD thanks to what I call “The Great 2004 Holiday Pack Debacle” – aka – that time I accidentally ordered 8 sets ($120 worth) of turkey dinner-flavored Jones Sodas, then tried until New Years’ to sell/give them to anyone who made eye contact. Two ended up at Goodwill.
But I love Pringles, and REALLY wanted to try these. So I persisted. This time I ended up with exactly as many as I intended.
How are they?
The aroma inside the can wasn’t much to write home about. It was a very slight turkey scent.
But when I crunched one, the flavor was there. Really there. I could have sworn I was chewing on the delightfully burnt crust on the bottom of my roasting pan on Thanksgiving night. The caramelized turkey juice, meat scraps, and spices. Yeah, the stuff you’re supposed to make gravy with, but not in my house because I eat it as an appetizer huddled over the stove while the bird rests on the counter.
Three crisps in, I decided these were my favorite Pringles flavor ever. I’m going to hoard cans before they disappear. While I know it’s unlikely that there’s any actual turkey in these (“natural flavors” leaves a hair of possibility), it’s such a convincing flavor, I just don’t care.
Is there anything else you need to know?
Turkey-flavored Pringles have been released in the U.S. previously as part of “Thanksgiving Dinner” packs, but those were simply called “Turkey.” Those might be different than “Roasted Turkey,” but since I haven’t tried them, I can’t say. So I guess this is really something else I need to know.
Conclusion:
Skip the turkey. Buy the Pringles. Feast.

umm i can’t be the only one wondering why naked tom turkey has a pringles face and bow-tie
I was near a Five Below today and I popped in and spied 4 cans on the shelf. I bought 3 as I didn’t want to be greedy and take them all. I really liked them as well. I made my husband taste one without telling him the flavor and he guessed correctly!
