Alongside the usual sweet suspects like pumpkin spice, peppermint, and gingerbread, the 2024 Starbucks holiday menu brings a new savory offering in the form of the Turkey Sage Danish. It features turkey sausage lightly coated in b\u00e9chamel sauce and wrapped up in a flaky pastry. As a firm believer that turkey and stuffing shouldn\u2019t be relegated to only a small handful of days each year, I was excited to see if this snack could capture some of those flavors in a neat little dough package.<\/p>\n

My danish arrived lightly warmed up, and when I pulled it out of the paper bag, I was pleasantly surprised to see it nicely browned in several places and generously scattered with herbs. Two sides of the pastry are folded over like little dough arms attempting to hug their filling but ultimately letting the turkey tumble out. The sausage crumbles aren\u2019t exactly appealing, looking like the grayish meat morsels you might find in a Hot Pocket. I happen to love Hot Pockets, so that isn\u2019t a knock on either product, but I don\u2019t think anyone will look at these poultry pebbles and think, \u201cThose look tasty!\u201d When eaten alone, they aren\u2019t particularly flavorful. The sausage itself doesn\u2019t seem to have much seasoning, with most of the flavor here instead coming from the herb topping. The bottom of my danish was golden and crisp, and while the middle had a bit of a doughy, not quite done texture, other parts were puffed in the flaky layers you\u2019d look for in a laminated pastry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This has a very familiar taste that\u2019s less \u201cfancy bakery pastry\u201d and more like a slightly underbaked Pillsbury crescent roll that\u2019s been nestled up to the stuffing on your Thanksgiving plate. I love the sagey, herb flavors here and wish they would be even more pronounced. The b\u00e9chamel is a welcome addition, bringing a little creamy note and preventing things from becoming too dry, but as stated in the description, there isn\u2019t a whole lot of it.<\/p>\n

Sizewise, this eats like a snack more than a breakfast. Mine had a few turkey sausage crumbles in the middle, but mostly what you see on the outside is what you get, maybe two tablespoons worth. Writing up the nutrition facts, I noticed that this item has less protein than the last coffee I reviewed. It seems to be a popular trend now to cram as much protein as possible into everything, but as someone not particularly worried about that, I was happy to eat this as a savory afternoon snack. I enjoyed the Turkey Sage Danish and would probably order it again if I was looking to scratch my stuffing itch while on the go, but if you want a filling breakfast or lunch, you\u2019ll have to pay almost $10 and gobble up two of these.<\/p>\n
