Thanksgiving might look a little different this year. While family gatherings are smaller or not happening at all, some restaurants are shifting plans to offer Turkey Day takeout. Since each restaurant’s menu offerings and hours vary, visit individual websites or call for all the details. Plus, we highlight a few of our favorites and include a few shops to pick up your bird and more.
Cleveland Vegan
Try a Thanksgiving twist this year with a plant-based spread. Cleveland Vegan is offering a seitan “turkey” slices paired with herbed gravy ($45 for four to six servings, $60 for eight to 10), with a side of stuffing with herbed gravy ($30 for four to six servings, $45 for eight to 10). Don’t forget dessert. The Lakewood spot will have cinnamon pecan cupcakes ($2.75 each, $3 for gluten-free), made with cinnamon pecan cake, topped with cinnamon buttercream and candied pecans. 216-221-0201, clevelandvegan.com, instagram.com
LockKeepers
Feed the entire family thanks to this Valley View favorite with this meal fit for 10 ($285), fully cooked and ready with instructions to heat at home and serve. The full meal includes a 12-pound brined, roasted and sliced turkey, herb stuffing, candied yams, cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes. Finish dinner with dessert, a delicious pumpkin cheesecake. 216-524-9404, lockkeepers.com
