When it comes to food, IKEA is best known for its meatballs and the affordable furniture retailer is introducing its first-ever Turkey-Sized Meatball this holiday season. The extra-large meatball weighs in at 4.5 kilograms and it comes boxed and ready to cook and serve with a side of lingonberry jam and creamy sauce to satisfy the whole family.
This supersized IKEA meatball is only available in limited quantities and it's available through the brand's social media channels and in-store competitions—from December 11th, shoppers in the UK can head to a participating store to find the hidden Turkey-Sized Meatball. And for plant-based diners, there's a Veggieball Christmas Tree on offer.
The sheer size of the IKEA Turkey-Sized Meatball will make it the centerpiece of any holiday table.
