The Best Takeout Thanksgiving Dinners in Toronto

Whether you're camp turkey, ham, Tofurky, or other, Toronto's best takeout Thanksgiving dinners are just the thing to soothe the soul. Is cooking Thanksgiving dinner fun? If you enjoy the inevitable stress-storm caused by marathon grocery shopping followed by turkey-day juggling of myriad courses, oven space, scheduling, and more, it can be. But, popping a heat-and-eat meal from one of the city's top kitchens into the oven as you dissolve into a glass of your favourite wine, is on another pleasure level altogether.

With dishes to satisfy every taste -- from traditional turkeys to vegan turkeyless strips and turduckens carefully assembled from the province's choicest fowl -- you'll find plenty on these exclusive menus to fill your harvest table.

Order a Thanksgiving dinner today and plan on a holiday unrivalled in relaxation. This year, stress about your Scrabble score instead of your sweet potatoes as you support your favourite restaurants. As the tryptophan begins to work its magic, raise a glass, give thanks and revel in the incredible flavours Toronto has to offer.
