How many calories do you reckon are in this set menu takeout thanksgiving meal? Menu screenshot attached, as well as photos of each item and k-cup for scale.

They swapped out the ice cream for whipped cream for takeout. The mashed potatoes are under the turkey gravy, and there’s more turkey under the pieces you can see, all white meat. Carrots have stuffing under them.

ChatGPT says ~1100 but that feels a little low.

Thank you!
