Thanksgiving to-go

If you prefer a home-cooked meal for Thanksgiving, but want to forgo some of the “cooking” part, Baton Rouge has you fully covered for all eventualities. Juban’s lets you leave the cooking to Chef Jaime Hernandez, selling their famous gumbo by the gallon, as well as whole roasted turkeys and rotisserie pork loin. You can check out their full menu by clicking here. Gourmet Girls Catering will shake up your normal menu of holiday standards with a sweet array of delicious if nontraditional food. Roast pumpkin soup, garlic and rosemary stuffed pork tenderloin, goat cheese tortas, and crab and spinach Madeleine are just some of the delectable dishes on offer. Visit their Facebook page for more information. Bellue’s serves up your choice of smoked or fried turkey, with cornbread dressing, as well as their signature Bellue’s Holiday Feast, which includes south Louisiana favorites such as smoked turkey, pork tenderloin, dressing, boudin, and chicken and andouille gumbo. You can even pick up a turducken for your extra-hungry houseguests. Learn more at belluescajuncuisine.com. Honey Baked Ham is known for their succulent and eponymous dish, but they also offer a whole smoked turkey or Cajun-rubbed turkey, as well as their own take on the holiday feast with sweet potato soufflé, cornbread dressing, gravy and pecan pie. Place your order at honeybaked.com. Whole Foods also allows you to order a whole holiday meal online with the click of a mouse at wholefoods.com. And Chef Don Bergeron cooks up a wide selection of turkey entrées, giving you the option of a whole roasted bone-in turkey or a partially de-boned turkey, which is much larger than the former while being a little easier on the appointed carver. Check out his menu at chefdonb.com. And if you’re planning to do the work yourself, BREADA will open for a special farmers market on Wednesday at its Perkins Road location from 8 a.m. to noon. Gather up some fresh veggies to serve to your guests! More information at breada.org.
