Supervisor Kahanu Castro displays a delectable Thanksgiving Meal.

As the calendar makes its turn to November, the highly anticipated Thanksgiving holiday draws nearer — so do fond memories of family and friends coupled with holiday staples of moist turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy taking the spotlight.

While the classic dishes and lasting 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 typically involved with preparing and coordinating such a grand spread.

Zippy’s is ready to help with planning the perfect feast by providing Thanksgiving Meals, including the Whole Turkey Package for $122.95 if ordered at the restaurant or by phone, and just $107.95 if ordered online. The convenient packages are easy to reheat and serve, and by pre-ordering packages online before the Nov. 22, 5 p.m. deadline via zippys.com, customers will save up to $15 off the regular price.

“Our Thanksgiving Meals 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.”

Zippy’s can fix up a Whole Turkey Package.

Additionally, guests can pick up a Whole Turkey Only option ($77.95 at the restaurant, or $68.95 online), a 10-to-12 pound (cooked weight) whole roast turkey that is fully cooked and easy to reheat.

Thanksgiving add-ons can include pies and maki sushi rolls.

To help with the preparation process, simple reheating instructions are provided, and to sweeten the deal, each Thanksgiving Meal may be supplemented with a pumpkin pie or custard pie for an additional $10.50 (up to two pies per package). Additionally, guests may add on maki sushi rolls ($5.95 each, limit five rolls per package), mashed potatoes (2 pounds, can be added to a package for $9.65) and poultry gravy (2 pounds, can be added to a package for an additional $4.75).
