Turkey Day is not far away, and it’s time to think about your Thanksgiving meal. If your first thought is that you’d rather spend time with your guests instead of in the kitchen, let Strack & Van Til do the cooking.

Order your complete, fully cooked meal from the Strack & Van Til Deli Department and give thanks for convenience and ease. Enjoy a delicious taste of tradition without all the fuss.

“Our fully cooked feasts mean no work, no mess and a hassle-free Thanksgiving celebration,” says Strack & Van Til Deli Director Kristin Snow. “Choose from three different meals that you can simply heat and serve.”

The Traditional Turkey Dinner feeds six to eight people and features a moist and tender 10-12-pound cooked Butterball Turkey. Sides include 2 pounds of rich, homemade stuffing; 5 pounds of Our Own fluffy mashed potatoes; 24 ounces of turkey gravy; and 15 ounces of cranberry relish. Priced at $79.99.

If you prefer ham, the Traditional Ham Dinner serves six to eight and spotlights an 8-pound Smithfield Spiral Cut Ham. In addition to 5 pounds of Our Own fluffy mashed potatoes, 24 ounces of turkey gravy and 15 ounces of cranberry relish, diners can indulge 2 pounds of creamy green bean casserole. Priced at $69.99.

Smaller get-together? Try the Turkey Breast Dinner that’s enough for six. Enjoy 3 pounds of oven roasted, boneless turkey breast; 2 pounds of rich, homemade stuffing; 5 pounds of Our Own fluffy mashed potatoes; 24 ounces of turkey gravy; and 15 ounces of cranberry relish. Priced at $69.99.

Everyone loves Thanksgiving sides, so be sure to order extra to complement your fully cooked meal. Try luscious garlic mashed potatoes, tender collard greens, mashed sweet potatoes and a wide variety of potato and pasta salads.

Guests usually come hungry to Thanksgiving dinner, so it’s a good idea to have a party tray or two on hand to tide them over until the main meal.

“The Strack & Van Til Deli has a wonderful array of Grab-and-Go appetizer options,” notes Snow. “Choose cheese platters, Spinach Dipper Bowls, Southwest layered dip, several hummus varieties, smoked salmon, vegetable dill dip, spinach dip and bruschetta.”

Charcuterie boards are all the rage. Put your artistic talent on display and build your own. It’s easy: Shop the deli for specialty cheeses and meats, fruit spreads, hot honey, olives and crackers, says Snow.

What’s a holiday feast without dessert? Add the finishing touch to your Thanksgiving meal with silken pumpkin mousse, heavenly Cheesecake Delight, taffy apple salad or traditional bread pudding.
