Providing Quality Thanksgiving Feasts To Go

Zippy’s Whole Turkey Package ($112.95 if ordered at the store or by phone, $97.95 if ordered online)

As the days get shorter and holiday decorations make their appearances, one thing becomes apparent: Thanksgiving is right around the corner.

With less than two weeks remaining before Thanksgiving provides a respite from the daily grind by bringing together family and friends for highly anticipated get-togethers, holiday staples of moist turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy shift into the spotlight. However, while classic dishes and indelible memories delivered at Thanksgiving provide a wealth of positive experiences, the holiday also tends to conjure up moments of anxiety, as hosts plan for the stress and mess usually involved with preparing and coordinating such a grand spread.

Pumpkin Pie ($9.50)

Zippy’s is poised to assist with planning the perfect Thanksgiving feast by providing Meals to Go Packages, including the Whole Turkey Package for $112.95 if ordered at the restaurant or by phone, and just $97.95 if ordered online. The convenient packages are easy to reheat and serve, and this year, by preordering packages online before the Nov. 16, 10 p.m. deadline via zippys.com, customers will save $15 off the regular price.

“Our Thanksgiving Meals to Go turkey packages are a sure hit for you and your family,” says Jeanine Mamiya-Kalahiki, marketing manager at Zippy’s Restaurants. “It saves so much time in the kitchen; all you need to do is reheat the turkey and sides — everything is so delicious. I order packages every year and am never disappointed, and my family really enjoys it.”
