Updated: Thanksgiving takeout and dining options in the St. Paul area

Let the culinary professionals handle this year's Thanksgiving cooking. Takeout options vary from the turkey to pies and everything in between. Some restaurants are offering full dinner packages, others have mix-and-match options. (Ordering deadlines and pickup details vary.) For even lower-maintenance options, several restaurants are once again offering dine-in feasts, ranging from buffets with all the fixings to three-course meals. But don't delay — whatever option you choose, early reservations are always recommendation.

This heat-and-serve meal includes ham (from Fischer Family Farms Pork in Waseca, Minn.) glazed with honey, brown sugar and stone-ground mustard; Southern-style candied yams; and green beans. Serves four to six, $137.94. For an additional charge, add nine dinner rolls ($9.73), a frozen ready-to-bake pie ($30.40) or a fresh ready-to-serve pie ($34.04). Order by Nov. 18, pickup Nov. 24.
