KENTUCKY — We’re closing in on Thanksgiving in the Commonwealth and if you haven’t secured your bird by now, you may very well be out of time.

But fear not! As we’ve seen throughout the pandemic, restaurants and local businesses are always adapting to the changing times. Many across Kentucky are offering to-go turkeys and Thanksgiving catering packages.

If you’ve unknowingly put off Thanksgiving planning, or simply want an easier way to feed your flock, here’s where you can find easy, wholesome Thanksgiving feasts.

Bob Evans (Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Northern Kentucky)

In addition to hosting in-person Thanksgiving feasts, Bob Evans is offering to-go Turkey Day catering with a lot of options.

Packed cold, the Farmhouse Feast serves up to 10 people and features turkey, ham, corn, green beans and all the staples.

If you’d like your catering served warm, the Holiday Hot Family Meal can feed up to six people with all the fixings, including a whole pumpkin pie.

Bob Evans Thanksgiving meals are available for pick-up through Thanksgiving Day, and some locations offer home delivery.

Cracker Barrel (Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Northern Kentucky)

The go-to for down home country cooking, Cracker Barrel has both “Heat & Serve” and “Hot & Ready” feast options available this Thanksgiving.
