Looking for a restaurant open on Thanksgiving? Here's where to get takeout Turkey in Phoenix
Corrections & Clarifications: Tarbell's changed the pricing for its Thanksgiving meal to $180.
When it comes to the year’s most anticipated meal, devouring it is the fun part.
What’s not, however, are the hours and days of preparation, stress of braving grocery stores and anxiety over whether the turkey will cook all the way through without drying out or how your cornbread stuffing will be judged by in-laws.
Letting professionals take care of it is a win-win. And though most Valley restaurants and caterers required pre-ordering of starters, sides, main courses and, with most menus, dessert, there are still a few places where you can snag last minute provisions.
From feasts for families to perfectly portioned dinners for individuals, these are the best places to order Thanksgiving to go in metro Phoenix.
