We all have too much on our plate right now, so why not let someone else set the table this Thanksgiving?
In the past few years marked by ordering subscription meal kits and online grocery deliveries to make life survivable from the confines of your own home, Turkey Day should be no different. In times past (was it really over two full years ago?) going to the grocery store in the days before the holiday was already panic-inducing, being met with barren shelves and packed aisles.
This November, however, many want to avoid the crowd and hassle and are looking to the abundance of at-home options that have become more and more popular, turkeys and sides included.
Thanksgiving gatherings vary from family to family, with some larger dinner parties to smaller Friendsgivings and solo meals enjoyed with a holiday film on the TV. No matter your plans, we gathered up different meal subscription companies and their Thanksgiving offerings to find the best, the fanciest and the ones that simply get the job done for 2022.

If you like turkey and keeping it classic, the Turkey and Sides kit is $19 per serving and serves eight to 10 guests a hearty meal of roast turkey, ciabatta stuffing, gravy, broccoli cheddar gratin, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and apple ginger crisp for dessert.
If you prefer beef, go for the Beef Tenderloin and Sides meal, priced at $25 per person and serves four to six guests. This kit comes with the same sides (sans the cranberry sauce) and the same tasty dessert option.
