Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate with family and friends, eat a lot of food, and for many watch football. Thanksgiving dinner, which traditionally features a main dish usually turkey or beef, with several sides including mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and cranberry sauce followed by a dessert like a pumpkin or an apple pie or cheesecake can take all day to prepare.
Creating this feast can be a daunting task even for the most experienced home chef, but have no fear Thanksgiving meal kits are here!
Have you seen the Home Chef menu for the week of November 22nd? They have created an amazing selection of Thanksgiving favorites for you to choose from. If you love making sides or are asking friends and family to bring them you can order a turkey complete with step-by-step instructions. Or if getting up at 5am to get the bird in the oven is your jam, you can order a pair of delicious sides to make Thanksgiving dinner prep a breeze.
All in, your Home Chef Thanksgiving meal, including the turkey, five sides, and dessert, will run you around $24 per person/$143 total for 6 people. And think of all of the time you will get back in your day to spend with the family. Add in cranberry sauce and gravy and you are all set!
