Thanksgiving meals to-go: Where you can still order your feast for the holiday

Oven on the fritz? Unexpected guests? Turkey gone bad?

There are many reasons that one may need to purchase a last-minute Thanksgiving meal to go.

Restaurants across the country are offering their takes on the classic holiday meal both in restaurant and to go. Bringing the meal home offers a reduced-stress celebration, with a reduction in dishwashing topping the list of chores avoided, while keeping the benefits of a Norman Rockwell-esque scene.

Time is ticking to put in for the potatoes as most places have deadlines on when orders must be placed by.

Here are restaurants you can still order a Thanksgiving meal to go.
