If you prefer to leave the cooking to someone else, and focus on family (or maybe on pie), consider ordering your Thanksgiving dinner to-go from a grocery store or restaurant.

Every year we put together a list of grocery stores and restaurants where you can order your meal ahead of time. In some cases, they come “ready to cook” or to heat up. In some cases, you can pick them up “hot and ready.”

Whether you want a full turkey dinner for a crowd, a meal for just two, a Thanksgiving meal with an Italian twist, a vegan meal, or you just want to order sides and desserts, there will be something in this list for you.

This list will continue to grow as more information comes in.

You might also be interested in:

These meals definitely save time, and for most of them the price per person isn’t too bad. You just need to heat everything up.

When these deals are announced, you’ll want to order quickly, as these deals are subject to selling out. Make sure to follow each link to see the details, including the deadline for ordering for Thanksgiving.

You’ll typically get a turkey (or ham), gravy, stuffing, and several sides. You might want to supplement the meal with extra sides.

If you’d rather dine out for Thanksgiving, check out this list of restaurants in Charlotte serving Thanksgiving dinner. Don’t delay in making reservations. Many of these restaurants will also offer takeout or delivery, so you’ll have another way of enjoying somebody else’s cooking at home.

Note: The prices or offerings for the to-go meals might vary by location.
