Experts are predicting that if you’re planning to make your own Thanksgiving dinner this holiday season, you could face turkey shortages.
But there is no shortage of restaurants offering traditional Thanksgiving meals for takeout.
Several chains are taking orders for turkey dinners. Most are heat-and-serve feasts to be served family-style, but a few are single servings, and there are even a couple of house-made frozen dinners.
Most include potatoes, dressing or stuffing, gravy and sides. Not all include desserts.
More full-service restaurants will also be serving Thanksgiving meals on the holiday than last year, but not every chain that will be doing takeout will be open for pickup on Thanksgiving Day, which is Nov. 25.
Be sure to check their websites for pickup times and preparation times before you order.
