Preparing an entire Thanksgiving meal takes hours and can leave you feeling too exhausted to have a good time at your own party. Why not let someone else cook the meal instead? Several grocery stores and restaurants in Moore County, NC are selling pre-cooked Thanksgiving meals so that you can enjoy your evening (and the leftovers) without all the work.
The Fresh Market in Southern Pines is offering different Thanksgiving dinner sizes, from a Traditional Holiday Dinner that serves 5-7 guests to a Deluxe Holiday Dinner that serves 6-9 guests. Both come with a 9 – 10 lb fully cooked turkey, stuffing, Yukon Gold potatoes, cranberry relish, turkey gravy, and yeast rolls. The Deluxe Holiday dinner also comes with a 2.5 lb petite spiral ham, corn souffle, and smokey green beans with bacon.
As an added bonus, if you pre-order your holiday meal in-store before November 22, 2015, you’ll receive a coupon for $5.00 off $25.00.
Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst is offering pickup or delivery for their Thanksgiving dinner. It’s a Thanksgiving Feast To-Go with a November 26, 2015 pick up/delivery date. Orders must be placed by November 20, 2015. They have a set menu with traditional items like a 12-14 lb. roasted turkey, black pepper giblet gravy, fall vegetables, and pies with additional a la carte options in case you only want part of the feast.
For a Thanksgiving dinner with a BBQ twist, check out The Pik-N-Pig in Carthage.

Order now and pick up as late as November 25, 2015.
Ashten’s A’Field in Southern Pines (the new carryout and catering division of Ashten’s) has a Thanksgiving Day menu that allows you to build your own custom dinner.
