Takeout
At most of the following establishments you'll receive a par-cooked turkey that will require about an hour or two in the oven when you get it home. Some, such as Sapphire and Blue on Blue, are also serving Thanksgiving dinner in the restaurant -- in case unpacking containers and reheating the components suddenly sound too overwhelming.
