I know it's a month away, but...since my sister is planning on going to Disney World next year and my brother not wanting to do anything...what restaurants have these foods that I can just heat and eat?

...I may even pick-up the foods the day before Thanksgiving. Here's what I'm gonna try to get...

Turkey, of course!
Ham
Meatloaf
Mashed Potatoes
Mac and Cheese
Stuffing
Corn
Green Beans
Carrots
Biscuits
Cranberry Sauce

It's just for me...I'm making my brother toast, popcorn, pretzel sticks and jellybeans.

if there are Cracker Barrels up there, they have a great Thanksgiving dinner. I think their dinner has nearly all of that (plus pie for dessert), but you could also get meatloaf, and any sides not included. They have all of those.

If no CB, never mind...

We are headed to Black Angus. They have a pretty good Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixins'.

In the past, I've used Crackel Barrel's Thanksgiving Dinner To Go for 8-10 people, and was never disappointed. It was quite good. We only had 5 people, so we EVEN had leftovers. We picked it up on Thanksgiving day and everything was hot and ready to go. They also have a Thanksgiving Dinner To Go for 4-6 people. Plus, your can order just one individual Thanksgiving dinner.

Okay...because I'm only having dinner for one.

I don't have much extended family and I know I'll never have a family to call my own....

Just a suggestion because no one else has mentioned it. Have you checked your community for church or soup kitchen holiday meals?

We've got local charities that produce fairly elaborate take home packages for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Sliced Turkey, mashed taters and gravy, stuffing, corn, and a slice of pumpkin pie put in styrofoam single serve trays. People go there, stand in line for about 15-30 minutes, can obtain up to 6 individual meals merely by requesting how many they want, and take them home.

Personally, I like to cook, so I make my own each year. But I know several guys who don't like to cook, and they go do that every year.

Even when I'm alone, I still enjoy cooking an entire turkey breast. Being able to enjoy turkey sandwiches for several days afterwards has always been part of the charm of the season.

One year long ago when I was living near the ocean, I decided to have a nautical themed Thanksgiving, made 8 quarts of shrimp creole, and oyster dressing, and overcame a lot of skepticism...not a drop was left over.

My mom and I got our Butterball turkey last week and my parents already got the stuffing and the cranberry sauce.

Now all we have to do is get the potatoes, gravy, and rolls.

Whole Foods, Bristol Farms and Erewhon Market have really quality hot/cold deli areas and for the holidays, they do the whole turkey thing and more. I'm happy with any of these my family gets for me.

I could've told you my Thanksgiving plans for this year last Thanksgiving. I will be by myself. I don't drive or I would've gone and got something. I wouldn't know where to go. There used to be a Boston Market near where I lived, so one year I went there and got Thanksgiving dinner. The problem, now, is that Boston Market closed down and is now an auto parts store, so I'm out of luck.
