Let’s talk turkey, Toronto!
No seriously: An average bird (unstuffed) is going to take roughly 15 minutes per pound to cook… you’re going to need room in your refrigerator to defrost the thing for hours on end… counter space to prep it… roasting pans… and enough room in your oven to cook it… and we haven’t even addressed the side dishes.
Exhausted just thinking about it?
Here’s where to get Thanksgiving dinner to-go. All you’ll need to do is pick-up, reheat, and uncork some wine (not included) to be the hero host of holidays.
