Phoenix Thanksgiving Deals: from Dining in to Taking it all Home

The holiday season has arrived and the big meals are lining up. I have a big-ish family, in that it’s all a little fragmented so when it comes time for family meals, I have at least two. At least.

So this year, if you find yourself with an array of plans or people that need to be entertained, we have a variety of options for you. Whether you are looking for a brunch, a dinner out or a place to pick up a complete (or a la carte) meal to take home, there are a number of Valley locations that have exactly what you are looking for.

Looking for Scottsdale locations? Check this out!

Bobby-Q Great Steaks & Real BBQ
8501 N 27th Ave., Phoenix
602.995.5982
Thanksgiving Dinner to Go
Now through 11/26/2014
Hand-rubbed with a custom blend of spices and then roasted, slow and low over almond and mesquite wood, Bobby Q’s turkeys are incredibly moist and flavorful. Each 12-15 pound turkey (precooked weight), serves 2-4 people. It can be purchased a la carte for $45 or packed with a quart of mashed potatoes, a quart of fire-roasted corn, a pint of gravy and eight versions of cornbread for $65! Also available by special order only will be Smoked Walnut Stuffing and Smoked Turkey Gravy (stuffing and gravy only available on Wednesday, November 26). Turkey orders need to be placed a minimum of 72 hours in advance of the pick-up date and re-heating instructions are provided. Keep in mind that the turkey is completely cooked, and only needs to be warmed! However, since the turkey is smoked, it will have a distinctive pink smoke ring when carved. One taste of Bobby Q’s smoked turkeys and you’ll gobble “Thank Q for smoking.” A limited amount of turkeys will be available for only a short period of time.
Make sure to call in advance to order yours today.

Turkey lovers looking for a delicious Texas twist on the traditional turkey dinner. Why settle for plain ol’ turkey when you can enjoy a true Texas-style treat this Thanksgiving at Texaz Grill, where for four days only they are whipping up heaping portions of Chicken Fried Turkey. Available exclusively during the lead up to Thanksgiving, this turkey twist on Texaz Grill’s signature Chicken Fried Steak (858,526 sold and counting) has been a fan favorite since it was first rolled out six years ago.
So what exactly is a Chicken Fried Turkey? The dish starts with a hearty portion of seasoned and lightly breaded turkey breast cutlet that’s been fried to perfection—creating the perfect combination of crispy exterior and fork-tender, moist interior. Smothered with slow-cooked, savory gravy, the turkey is paired with a side of mashed potatoes and homemade cranberry sauce. And at just $10 for Lunch and $14 for Supper it’s the Valley’s best holiday special by a country mile. Come in for supper and it will also include bread & butter and a house salad.
