So with that, companies have recently decided to capitalize on it in the most creative ways possible.<\/p>\n<p>For a few years, Pringles was having all the fun with its multitude of coordinating flavors encompassing the full feast. But this year, Perdue decided to throw its hat into the ring, and it is most definitely not messing around. The company has brought a clever name, vibrant packaging, cute themed shapes, and various wildly appropriate flavors.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Perdue-Thanksnuggets-Shapes.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Perdue Thanksnuggets Shapes\" title=\"Perdue Thanksnuggets Shapes.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The only disappointment here is the super limited availability, with only 100 bags available on its website. The 100 number was meant to celebrate Perdue&#8217;s 100th anniversary, but as you will see below, these deserve to be in way more people&#8217;s bellies!<\/p>\n<h3>Breaded Breast Meat Turkey Nuggets<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Perdue-Thanksnuggets-Split.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Perdue Thanksnuggets Split\" title=\"Perdue Thanksnuggets Split.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These are white meat nuggets in the cutest little shape of a turkey with a secondary sweet potato flavor. They look very much like regular nuggets with a light brown coating, and the inside is chock full of delicious white meat.<\/p>\n<p>The meat is very tender and the coating is good, but I wish the nuggets could&#8217;ve been a little thicker\/crisper. The sweet potato starts to emerge as you chew, and it doesn&#8217;t let go. The first few nuggets to me were just a tad sweet, but the flavor really developed for me after a few more. Holy cow (or turkey?) these really taste like I am eating a side of sweet potatoes. Yum!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong>\u00a09 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong>\u00a0(4 Nuggets) 210 calories, 8 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 390 milligrams of sodium, 16 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 1 gram of sugar, and 17 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<h3>Breaded Dark Meat Turkey and Cranberry Nuggets<\/h3>\n<p>These are dark meat nuggets are drumstick shaped and inspired by stuffing and cranberry sauce. I was a little hesitant with this flavor because I have never been a huge fan of dark meat, nor have I ever had it in nugget form. The two different flavors as an add-on also seemed a little odd. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Perdue-Thanksnuggets-Innards.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Perdue Thanksnuggets Innards\" title=\"Perdue Thanksnuggets Innards.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These are much darker in color, but I can&#8217;t tell if it is just because of the dark meat interior, because of the actual composition of the breading, or maybe a little bit of both. The dark meat definitely gives these a more intense chicken flavor. But it is heavier too, and I am not sure I&#8217;m digging the texture as it is not as consistent as the white meat nuggets. These do have better crunch, though. <\/p>\n<p>Just like the sweet potato with the other, the flavors here are very noteworthy. I can absolutely taste some onion and garlic, which is definitely giving me stuffing vibes. Do you see those little darker specks? They aren&#8217;t mystery meat particles. Those are actual cranberry pieces! When you get one, it is rather jolting but also a very nice tart surprise. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong>\u00a07 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong>\u00a0(4 Nuggets) 220 calories, 9 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 590 milligrams of sodium, 20 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 4 grams of sugar, and 13 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p>Perdue came to the Thanksgiving-themed boxing ring and just KO&#8217;d the competition! These have a lot going on with the different shapes, meats, and flavors, but all in all, they are creative and delicious. Kids and adults alike would enjoy these, and I hope Perdue brings them back next year for more to try. Fingers crossed that the company doesn&#8217;t make us wait until the 200th anniversary for 200 bags to fight over. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong>\u00a0$19.20 (For both flavors)<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 24 oz bag<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong>\u00a0Perduefarms.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanksgiving might just be the biggest food-related holiday there is.
