A ready-made Thanksgiving is the next best thing to having a private caterer in your kitchen. You can order the entire meal or choose the mains and sides to fill in the gaps (or the items you just don’t feel like making yourself). Here are eight regional purveyors who are ready to cook up a great Thanksgiving for you and yours. All of the menus are on their websites or Facebook pages, and are linked below.

No surprise that Talbott & Arding’s Thanksgiving menu would include out-of-this-world cheese and charcuterie platters.

The Marketplace, Sheffield and Great Barrington
We love the sumptuous items found every day at The Marketplace’s various locations, and its Thanksgiving dinner menu promises to deliver (although you still have to pick it up). Choose your turkey — full or roasted breast —or something you don't see on order every day: a turkey drumstick. The Marketplace lets you add some other unusual twists to your table, like spinach and mushroom lasagna or quiche. Just two of you? There’s a full Thanksgiving dinner à deux, $52.

Misto's pumpkin skillet cake with cream cheese frosting and toasted pecans
While we wait for this husband-and-wife team of caterers (he, Brazilian; she, Ukrainian) to open their storefront, we’ll satisfy ourselves with their popup Thanksgiving menu, which features some twists on the traditional meal. How about a grilled vegetable box? Turkey “porchetta” or a brined and smoked boneless pork loin? Even pumpkin pie gets a makeover as a pumpkin skillet cake. See why we’re jazzed for Misto to open its doors?
