Smokin’ Turkeys With All the Fixins for Thanksgiving

Picture it: Thanksgiving morning with the smell of turkey filling the air. But wait, you don’t remember putting the turkey in the oven, or even preparing it the night before. Don’t panic; you bought your turkey from one of your favorite local restaurants.

So sit back and relax because this Thanksgiving you don’t have to worry about fixing a turkey; we’ve got plenty of places that will fix it for you.

Citron + Rose

For $325 you can get a 15-pound turkey complete with mushroom knishes, whiskey glazed sweet potatoes, herb challah stuffing, green beans almandine, C&R chopped salad, and pecan pie. The meal feeds 6 to 8 people, so you have plenty of reason to uninvite that neighbor with the weird facial hair.
