Don’t Want to Cook? Get Pre-made Thanksgiving Dinner at These Places

Thanksgiving is nearly here and a juicy turkey dinner is on most of our minds. That said, cooking can take all day and not everyone is up to the task.

So what do you do when you don’t feel like cooking dinner? Order it in, obviously! Fortunately, there are many places ready to prepare your holiday dinner so you don’t have to spend hours on your feet.

Here are some places to order from, but make sure you check ordering timelines.

1. HoneyBaked Ham Co.

HoneyBaked Ham may be popular for its ham dinners, but it also does turkey very well. For Thanksgiving, you can choose between either, or if you really want to impress your guests, go for both, and add a variety of side dishes.

The smallest meal combo serves 4 to 6, while the largest serves 19.

2. Harry & David

Known for its gift baskets, Harry & David also does a killer dinner for the holidays. You can choose the size of your feast and add on extras, like charcuterie boards, gourmet gift baskets, and a side dish package.

Be warned though, this is an expensive dinner that starts around $100 for just the turkey.

3. Bob Evans

Bob Evans does comfort food right and it’s offering dinners for both individuals and families. You can choose from a premium platter that includes ham and turkey, or a holiday celebration platter featuring the poultry only.

The holiday hot family meal includes several side dishes and a pumpkin pie. That will serve six people.

4. Cracker Barrel

If you like homestyle cooking, Cracker Barrel has a variety of heat-and-serve options that include turkey, ham, or prime rib. Each of the meals includes several side dishes, plus dessert.

You can choose from smaller options to feed 4 to 6 people, or larger meals that feed 8 to 10. They are ready in under two hours. Note, that the prime rib is only available in the smaller size.

5. Marie Callender’s

Marie Callender’s offers more than just pies and premade frozen meals. It has locations where it serves up fresh food and you can pick up a Thanksgiving feast.

The feast, which includes turkey or ham, and all of the fixings, comes in two sizes. The smaller one will feed 4 to 6 people, while the larger size feeds 8 to 10.

6. Boston Market

Boston Market offers catering for holiday meals from November 1 to December 31. You can order a premium or deluxe meal for 10 people minimum, or you can do a full-on catering setup.

The meals are priced per person and will depend on the type of meat and side dishes included.

7. Popeye’s

If you enjoy Popeye’s chicken, you can order a Cajun-style turkey from the restaurant for your holiday dinner. It’s not just the turkey, either.

You can order delicious sides such as mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw to go with your dinner, plus dessert. These must be ordered separately.

8. Costco

Costco has an 11-item meal for sale for the holiday and though it needs reheating, there is no extensive preparation.

The meal kit includes turkey breasts that are pre-seasoned and come with instructions on how to cook and prepare. The meal is more expensive than some of the others listed at over $250, but feeds 8 to 10 people.

9. Denny’s

Denny’s is a restaurant chain that offers typical American fare. For the holiday, it is offering a turkey bundle that comes fully cooked with a variety of sides to please everyone and you can add on extras if you like.

The bundle is designed to feed a family of four and starts at just $54.99.
