Turkey Takeout?
Want to gobble, gobble, gobble and not cook, cook, cook this holiday season. Here are some places you can obtain pre-cooked turkeys.
- Rudy’s BBQ & Country Store, get some of their excellent creamed corn while you’re at it.
- Greenberg Turkey Inc., apparently fantastic. Order early.
- Popeyes, I’ve had their cajun fried turkeys and they are very good!
- Luby’s, you can order an entire meal, complete with dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce and pies for a very reasonable price of $79.99 or a smaller feast to serve 4-6 for under $50. This would be a great choice for the budget conscious.
- Texas Hill Country Barbecue Inc.
- The Pit Barbeque
- HEB, turkeys or ham, just heat and serve. They have all the side dishes, too.
- Central Market, heck, you can order the whole meal!
- Whole Foods, whether you want dinner for 2 or a dozen, Whole Foods can hook you up with the entire meal. They also have an option for Vegetarians!
- Bill Miller Bar-B-Q, ham or turkey with all the fixins and fresh baked pies, too.
- HoneyBaked Ham, they may be a chain but they make a mighty fine ham and I hear their turkey is also excellent.
If you know of any other places that cook the turkey for you, please let me know! I am trying to decide what kind of pies to make this year. I think I’ll do the traditional pumpkin and probably a Kentucky bourbon pecan pie but I may also do a chai apple pie. Last year I made my own cranberry sauce and oh, my goodness, I had no idea that cranberries could be so tasty. Up to that point I’d really only had the canned variety. My family is a bit non-traditional where Thanksgiving is concerned and so we are doing tapas instead of the usual fare you might expect. We haven’t fully set the menu yet, but we’re working on it. My mother does love a traditional meal though, so we’ll probably do that the night before.
If you’re a cheesecake fanatic, you should check out Stephanie’s Pumpkin Cheesecake Tarts over at Elementary Chef. They look yummy!

I’ve never tried their turkey, but since you’re asking for data points: I was in Bill Miller Bar-B-Q this last weekend and noticed that they do holiday meals (turkey and ham).
Oh! And I just remembered, there is also HoneyBaked Ham, where is actually where my wife and I got our Christmas meal last year. It was pretty yummy, and they were able to accommodate us even though we got the stuff pretty last-minute. They have a store on Research near Burnet.

Awesome! Thanks for the additions! I know I owe you some responses. I’ll get to it soon. I’ve got family arriving shortly for Thanksgiving so I’ve been up to my eyeballs in housecleaning and baking. I’m making a castle cake for my nieces b’day.
