Complete Thanksgiving meals: Here's how to order from grocery stores

If you're looking to leave the Thanksgiving cooking to someone else and don't want to order from a restaurant, southeast Michigan grocery stores are here to help.

Many offer a selection of complete Thanksgiving meal options. Some offer fully prepared and cooked Thanksgiving meals, which need only to be reheated. Others have the turkey prepped and ready for you to take home and cook yourself. And if it’s only the sides you want, from green bean casserole to mashed potatoes to pints of gravy, some stores offer those as well.

Get your order in soonas stores will have cut-off dates for ordering. Keep pick-up times in mind. Some stores are closed on Thanksgiving and dinners are to be picked up the day before.

Here's a sampling of what grocery stores are offering:
