So what are your plans for Thanksgiving? Officially falling on Monday, October 10, the turkey-focused day is around the corner! Now that we’ve raised your blood pressure, let’s take it back down with some helpful information. While we can’t help you clean your house or deal with family drama, we can assist when it comes to making dinner. And by “assist” we mean provide you with details on a dozen restaurants and caterers that are offering Thanksgiving dinner takeout in Toronto.
And while turkey is the star of most of these meals, we’ve made sure to feature a few other main course options, including vegetarian choices. We’ve also tried to include spots that cater to a range of price points and crowd sizes. When known, we’ve included the deadline for placing your order. However, given supply and staffing issues, we recommend that you place your order as soon as you’ve picked up which spots works best for your family.

Known for its focus on local, fresh ingredients, The Ellery Market has assembled three different Thanksgiving takeout menus, all in the $49-$53 per person range. The Classic menu is built around roast turkey breast and starts off with assorted “nibbles” such as local cheeses. For sides, it features Yukon mash, roasted squash medley, gravy avec au jus and more. For dessert, there’s pumpkin cake trifle with salted caramel cream Montmorency cherries. The For The Love of Duck option features all of that but with the turkey swapped out for a King Cole duck confit leg. Have a vegetarian on your guest list? The Ellery can easily accommodate them, with a menu that includes quinoa -stuffed acorn squash. All orders must be submitted by October 2 and must be picked up on October 9.
Kitchenette
791 Broadview Ave., Toronto

It also includes garlic mash potatoes, roasted Brussel sprout salad and maple sage butter to accompany COBS dinner rolls. But perhaps the best part of this meal is that you get to choose one of the following
desserts: Caramel apple crisp cheesecake, graham crust pumpkin pie or chocolate hazelnut mousse cake. A meal for four costs $175, with the option to add additional portions for two. Orders must be placed by October 4 at 6pm and the meal can be picked up either October 8 or the 9.
