Ahead of Thanksgiving, Gardein announced two products to its lineup of meat-free protein alternatives: 'Turk’y Cutlets' and 'Stuffed Turk’y.'
Both products are made with the brand's plant-based protein, which combines vegetables and grains to create a delicious flavor that makes for a savory center piece to any holiday meal. In addition to providing consumers with a great source of protein and more servings of vegetables, the Turk’y Cutlets and Stuffed Turk’y are made to be cholesterol-free and contain less saturated fat than competing products.
Gardein's meat-free alternatives can be found in the freezer section of grocery stores across Canada, and shoppers can check the brand's website for product availability at a location that's close to them.
