Experts predict that if you plan to make your own Thanksgiving dinner this holiday season, you may face a shortage of turkeys.
However, there is no shortage of restaurants that serve traditional Thanksgiving meals for takeaway.
Some chains are ordering turkey supper. Most are family-style feasts of heat and serve, but some are single servings and there are also some homemade frozen dinners.
Most include potatoes, dressings or stuffing, gravy sauces and sides. Not all include desserts.
On holidays, more full-service restaurants offer Thanksgiving meals than last year, but not all takeaway chains can pick up on Thanksgiving Day, November 25th.
Please be sure to check the pick-up time and preparation time on the website before ordering.
