To help save your sanity and give you more time to hang with the kids this Thanksgiving, we’ve collected the tastiest places around town to buy your bird (and sides and pies, too) already prepared. With how easy and delish these meals are—literally, all you have to do is call it in, pick it up, and plop it on your table—you’ll wonder why you didn’t outsource Turkey Day before.

Carmine’s

Carmine’s in Penn Quarter is taking a break from their Italian traditions (think: penne alla vodka Bolognese meat sauce) and offering a straight-up American-style Thanksgiving dinner. For $225, you’ll get a feast for eight that includes an 18 lb turkey, five sides including mashed potatoes and sautéed string beans, and your choice of apple, pecan or pumpkin pie. If your kids can't go a day without a bowl of pasta, just do a takeout order on the day you pick up the bird.

When to order: Make sure your feast is ready on time by calling in your order before Nov. 22.
