What’s in our Trick-or-Treat bag? OREO Glow-in-the-Dark 2-packs
Halloween is a big deal in our house. My kids and I spend months planning for it. We choose costumes in June or July and get them ordered. My kids have even tried on...
This year Boston Market has rolled out a new program to help relieve some of the stress of the holidays by taking care of the cooking. And the best part? They will deliver it right to your door. Ordering is simple. Just point your browser to BostonMarket.com and click the Thanksgiving Made Easy button (hurry though, orders for Thanksgiving have to be in by the 19th of November). We recently tried out the service and had the Complete Thanksgiving Meal for 12 delivered to our door.
Our Boston Market Thanksgiving Meal for 12 arrived secured in a large insulated box. Within, we found a gorgeous whole roasted turkey complete with all the trimmings. There was mashed potatoes, gravy, home style stuffing, cranberry walnut relish, spinach and artichoke dip with crackers, dinner rolls, pumpkin pie, and apple pie.
Preparing the meal was easy. The turkey goes into a special bag and then into your oven to reheat. Everything else is heated easily enough via your favorite method. Everything from microwaving to oven baking will work. The process was pretty painless, but you do have to allow enough time for all the food to get hot.
The turkey will take the longest, but all told we had everything hot and ready to eat in about 2 hours. Now that may seem like a fair amount of time, but in truth, most of that was heating up the turkey, which required zero effort on our part once we popped it in the oven.
Best of all, the kitchen was clean when we were done cooking. We didn’t have to actually prep anything, so no measuring cups were dirtied and no messes made. The Boston Market complete Thanksgiving meal for 12 was by far the easiest meal I have ever prepared for that many people.
The convenience of simply heating things up cannot be understated. There was no getting up at 6 am to start prepping. There was no mess or stress. And the food itself tasted fantastic. The turkey was juicy; it tasted like I had been cooking and basting for hours on end. The mashed potatoes and gravy were every bit as good (if not better) than anything I have had in Thanksgivings past. There wasn’t a single bad dish in the Boston Market box.
In our household, Thanksgiving is first and foremost about spending quality time with family and close friends. I loved that the Boston Market complete Thanksgiving meal for 12 allowed me to spend my time where it was important, with the people I love, rather than in the kitchen.
The Complete Thanksgiving Meal for 12 is not the only offering from Boston Market this holiday season. When you head to their website, you will find meals such as:
• Combo Boneless Roasted Turkey Breast & Boneless Ham Meal for 12: A combo meal option including a boneless roasted turkey breast and boneless ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, home style stuffing, cranberry walnut relish, spinach artichoke dip and crackers, cinnamon apples, dinner rolls, an apple pie and a pumpkin pie for $119.99.

I am actually going to an early thanksgiving on Sunday with my husband’s family and Boston Market is catering it. I am so excited.
I think this is a great idea! That is one less stress that I need to worry about. I much rather spend time with the family than sit in the kitchen all day!
Score! I’d much rather have our Thanksgiving meal delivered than have to worry about making sure everything is ready to go for the meal.
This would certainly make Thanksgiving a lot easier! We usually spend the day slaving away in the kitchen and then are totally exhausted. I don’t think holidays should really be like that. What a great concept!
I am hosting Thanksgiving. I wish I would have known about this. I would have totally done this. We love Boston Market!
We just moved to a much bigger city, now I have to look if we have one here. Oh I hope we do! I remember when Boston Market came around as a competition to KFC. I definitely preferred it!
Oh my goodness! This looks so delicious and what a wonderful idea! My MIL is getting up there in age and I hate that we travel all the way across town and she has to do all of the work. She insists on doing it, but I would prefer to do this next year! Why cook?
I am happy to know that there is a service like this. I do not want to stress myself and this is perfect!
That’s fantastic that they deliver a full meal like that. What a timesaver! I wish we had a Boston Market here.
I might just do that this year. I have so little time for cooking this year!
Boston Market has some really amazing food. I would love to try their delivered Thanksgiving Dinner.
I just love the convenience that this brings! It’s nice to be able to go and spend more time with the family instead of slaving in the kitchen all day! It’s awesome that there are serving sizes too.
That is awesome! We have a Boston Market here so we will have to check that out since although we’re not hosting, we were told to bring sides.
This is my idea of hosting Thanksgiving if I had to cook for that many people. It has been so long since I have cooked the full Thanksgiving meal. The price is very competitive. I was expecting it to be more expensive too.
This is such an amazing service that Boston Market is providing. You could save so much time from having the dinner delivered.
OMG, I am SO doing this next year! We’ve already got everything lined up for this Thanksgiving, but next year, I am not stepping foot in the kitchen! Not one foot!
We have a Boston Market in Fort Collins, but there’s only one. This would be great and less hassle since this year its just the four of us, no big family gathering this year.
I LOVE Boston Market and wish there was one close to me. I would definitely get my Thanksgiving meal from them!
I had no idea that they did this and I wish there was one near us. I haven’t been to a Boston Market in years, I miss it!
This sounds great. What a great option for those that need a quick Thanksgiving meal. This is something I may think about for in the future.
If my husband wouldn’t kill me, I would totally do this. Gosh, I love Boston Market and it would sure save me a lot of work, ha!
I need a Boston Market so bad. Their mac and cheese and apples are so good
We’ve ordered Thanksgiving Dinner from Boston Market before and it worked out great. When you don’t have a lot of extended family coming over might as well have a nice meal prepared for you.
I’m not down for all that cooking so this is a great idea. I love the sweet potatoes from Bostom Market.
This was our first year ordering our thanksgiving dinner from Boston market
Years past we have ordered our prepared meal from our local super markets
This year was a toss up between BM and another company.
We were pleasantly suprised and have to say, we loved the turkey dinner. Everything was delicious. We are looking forward to ordering our Christmas dinner from BM
We would highly recommend Boston Market for any holiday dinner
👍👍👍👍👍
I wish there was one near us, but they are too far. My aunt has one near her and she goes there all the time, they also deliver to her office so she orders there all the time. I love anything that saves me time!
I had no idea Boston Market has this Thanksgiving dinner delivery. I have to keep it in mind for next year, if we aren’t going to be cooking.
