Chrissy Teigen reveals she gets her Thanksgiving meal from Popeye's, KFC and even Disneyland

As a long-time fan and admirer of Chrissy Teigen, I must say that her approach to Thanksgiving dinner is both refreshingly honest and delightfully relatable. Growing up in a bustling household, much like hers, I can empathize with the pressure to deliver a perfect holiday meal. However, as someone who has learned over the years that family gatherings are about love, laughter, and togetherness, not perfection, I wholeheartedly applaud her decision to simplify her Thanksgiving feast by relying on beloved establishments like Popeye’s, KFC, and Disneyland.


Chrissy Teigen does not do all her own cooking for Thanksgiving.

To be honest, I, as a lifestyle enthusiast, find myself frequently enjoying meals at quick-service establishments such as Popeye’s and KFC, which have become staples in my diet.

Furthermore, the writer of the cookbook also draws inspiration from Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which is known as the Happiest Place on Earth.

The fashion model talked to Travel + Leisure about her cheats.

‘We are getting 20 smoked turkey legs from Disneyland,’ said the wife of crooner John Legend.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model remarked, “Those who have tried them before know they have a ham-like flavor; I find them quite extraordinary. Nothing beats turkey like that.

At Disneyland, we’ll casually rest against a trash bin and savor some roasted turkey legs – one of my most cherished experiences there. This tradition will be how I enjoy turkey this year.

And she doesn’t make her own gravy either.

She shared that her affection for Popeye’s and KFC gravy runs deep, having discovered over numerous years that when it comes to cherished flavors during stressful times like Thanksgiving or holidays, if you can’t replicate the taste better than what you adore or what you’re accustomed to, then why bother?

‘Just bring it in…’ she added.

‘I used to put so much pressure on myself to be perfect, and to do everything perfectly. 

Instead of rushing through holiday preparations in the kitchen, I prefer to make things enjoyable and uncomplicated, as it’s all about spending quality time with loved ones.

Teigen also shared how she keeps her four children occupied on a plane.

She mentioned that an iPad is meant for the older children. They often spend time on their iPads, playing games without any restrictions. If they manage to stay quiet, it makes her content.

‘The babies right now aren’t that into screens, thank God.

‘On TikTok, I came across an interesting tip. Users apply colorful painter’s tape to windows and the seats ahead during flights. The tape stays there for extended periods.’

They simply grab and manipulate it, perfect for young children – I find it to be an excellent skill I’ve picked up.

‘And I do my paint by numbers on an airplane, because I need to be occupied, too.’

On her go-to plane snack:

‘Beef jerky. And I can never turn down a plane meal, even if I’m totally full. 

I’m really fond of Pop Corners cheddar chips and Goldfish, but when it comes to my top choice, it’s definitely beef jerky. A well-seasoned, spicy, and thick slice of jerky truly hits the spot.
