Let professionals handle the Turkey Day feast

Nobody says Thanksgiving dinner at home is easy. There’s the planning, shopping, cooking, cleaning — and some years, maybe the game plan is to forget it all and go out to eat.

Leave the turkey and all the fixings to the professionals this Thanksgiving at these local restaurants, which will serve everything from three-course dinners to buffet feast to Thanksgiving burgers. Big Green Egg smoked turkey, anyone?

Restaurants are listed from north to south. Let Eater know if there’s a favorite spot to take in the Thanksgiving meal that needs to be on this map, too.
