Every year, it never fails that someone in my family ends up burning some of the food that we’re supposed to eat for Thanksgiving dinner. Two years ago, it just so happened to be the turkey that ended up in the garbage, and let’s just say my grandmother was not amused. Luckily–for all of our sakes–we haven’t had another turkey fiasco, and it’s not because any of us have gotten better at cooking, it’s because of God’s greatest blessing: takeout. Thankfully, tons of local restaurants and caterers have caught on to the turkey take-home trend and are offering plenty of yummy options, perfect for any feast.
