Cooking a Thanksgiving feast is an overwhelming task. There’s roasting the turkey, mashing the potatoes, trimming the green beans and whipping up the pumpkin pie.

If you’d rather focus on loved ones this holiday than shopping lists and kitchen duties, here’s a list of some Central Oregon businesses handling the meal preparations this upcoming holiday.

Some local eateries are hosting dinner, while others are offering Thanksgiving meal kits to be reheated and enjoyed at home (or over an open fire). Reservations for both services are in high demand, so reach out while there’s still time.
