Let's talk turkey: Here are the best Thanksgiving meal delivery services of 2024
This year, let the food come to you! Williams Sonoma, Omaha Steaks, Blue Apron and more will deliver the holiday meal to your door.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and you know what that means: Food, family, fun, Black Friday deals, and, of course, tons of cooking. While we can't help with the bickering that always seems to accompany family get-togethers, we can definitely save you time in the grocery store and the kitchen. Toss that turkey baster aside and opt into a Thanksgiving meal delivery service that will ship a delicious Thanksgiving spread right to your door. If you're not a fan of cooking or simply want to take this task off your list, there are some incredible choices. All you have to do is heat and serve the prepared turkey and sides of your choosing. The meal will be delicious, you'll save loads of time and money and you'll avoid the inevitable cooking catastrophe that happens when you have four burners, the oven, an air fryer and a microwave going simultaneously.
Considering Thanksgiving meal costs are on the rise again this year, a complete Thanksgiving meal delivery kit delivered to your door may be more economical than shopping and cooking everything on your own. And there's more good news: There's a meal kit for every budget, dietary need and level of kitchen skills, so get ready to devour this list of Thanksgiving dinner delivery services of 2024.
Omaha Steaks
If you want to serve a Thanksgiving dinner that looks like you've been prepping and cooking for days, then Omaha Steaks' Cozy Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner is what you need. Get this yummy sugar and honey whole-basted 10-pound turkey delivered to your door ready to cook (cooking bag and pop-up timer included) — or should we say, ready to fill your house with the wonderful smell of roasting turkey. Instead of spending the next few hours prepping and cooking, you get to sit back, relax and wait for the timer to go off signaling the turkey is ready to rest while you heat the fully cooked sides, including Smashed Red Potatoes, Steakhouse Creamed Corn, Green Bean Casserole, Individual Baguettes with Garlic Butter and Pumpkin Pie. This is about as easy as a "home-cooked" Thanksgiving meal can get, and while it's on sale for $168 (usually $336), it's hard to beat, especially with the quality ingredients Omaha Steaks is known for. Serves 6-8 people. Order by 11/22/24.
