Thanksgiving is barreling down the pipeline, coming for us at full speed. With just three weeks left until friends and loved ones gather around the table, there’s no time like the present to decide you really don’t want to be in charge of cooking a lavish meal from scratch.
No need to fret, plenty of places across the Oklahoma City metro are ready to provide you with to-go meal options. Most are take and bake, meaning all you need to do is warm them up, but a few are frozen and will require a few extra steps.
Options vary by location and range from just sides or the protein, all the way up to entire meal deals. Some even offer unique twists on the classic Thanksgiving meal or versions that are complete diversions from tradition.
So, whether you want help with the entire Thanksgiving feast or just someone to provide the assist with sides and desserts, here are some of the restaurants, markets and grocery stores with pre-order options.
