Thanksgiving is one of our favorite days of the year, not only because it gives us an excuse to eat everything in sight, but also because it provides an incredible opportunity to relax and spend time with loved ones. Of course, sometimes the chore of preparing a full-blown feast can cut into your relaxation time. If you prefer to leave the cooking to someone else this year, consider ordering a ready-made Thanksgiving feast from a local restaurant!

To make your life a little easier this year, we’ve rounded up a few incredible holiday meal deals from Ann Arbor area restaurants! All you have to do is pick up the meal a few hours early and then reheat it in the oven—no cooking required.
