If you were ordering a drive though Thanksgiving meal for pickup what would you need to have? Please select all that apply.

We need gravy here, but don’t usually make mashed potatoes. No one in this house likes them all that much; if we make a potato dish at Thanksgiving, it is usually scalloped or Hasselback potatoes.

My personal Thanksgiving plate is not complete without turkey breast, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, butternut squash, rutabaga (also known as yellow turnips), a roll and a ton of gravy. Dessert is always pumpkin pie.
ETA: and pearl onions in cream sauce and brussels sprouts.

It depends....am I ordering just what I want (turkey, potatoes with gravy on the side, apple pie) or what the family wants (add on green bean casserole, pecan pie, yams, possibly stuffing, rolls, corn, heaven only knows what else). I voted only for myself, to heck with the rest of them 🤣

Definitely need butternut squash. And any kind of pie except pecan.

I didn't select a veggie as there isn't one MUST even though a veggie is a must.

Dressing, which is NOT the same as stuffing.

For "other", our family does cornbread instead of corn.
Are these meant to be choices so people could select a la carte? Please tell us more about what you are planning. This sounds like an idea that others (read: our extended family) may want to use...

A cheeseburger. Is this just for fun or are you planning for a restaurant? If the latter, be sure to include something besides the traditional turkey for those of us who truly hate just about every traditional Thanksgiving food there is. On a traditional table, I would get ham, green beans, a roll and some dessert that isn't pumpkin pie.

I'm gauging whether it would be worth doing as a church youth group fundraiser. Say, $12 per meal, tickets sold ahead of time and pickup cold the morning of Thanksgiving. It might be too hard to get all the sides into a disposable container though. Not sure.

I'm one of the other votes because I'd rather have ham than turkey as my main protein.

We usually have a mix of pies, pumpkin, chocolate and a cheesecake or pumpkin cheesecake.

I would need turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, rolls, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and some kind of jello salad. We call ours the pink stuff but it's not pink. I don't remember why we call it that. lol

Although I checked stuffing, we do not do stuffing but cornbread dressing. Also we have broccoli cheese rice, youngest daughter brings it and of course deviled eggs. If I remember to get it before the stores run out, we get a smoked turkey breast that means we don't have a lot of leftover turkey.

Who would be buying these? Neighborhood seniors? Singles who can't visit family due to Covid? Or would you be competing with the local grocery stores' heat-and-eat Thanksgiving offerings?
My old church used to do a community Thanksgiving feast in the church basement. I think it was $5 per person. It began as an event for people who would otherwise be alone on Thanksgiving, but it turned into one of the most-anticipated events on the calendar! That wouldn't work for this year and Covid, though.

rutabaga- I like my mashed with just a little butter
and pearl onions in cream sauce

In theory I like this idea - my thought is the food might taste better than a grocery store cooked meal, if the cooks are using family recipes. But I probably wouldn’t do it for a holiday. I like to cook, and even if I didn’t it would be hard to serve this to family and friends without ever tasting the food beforehand.
What about something similar for less-important days? Maybe chili and fixings, along with caramel apples or shaped cookies for a trick-or-treat night? Or one day a month you sell a cooked meal kit with lasagna, salad, bread.

Turkey. Mashed Potato and homemade gravy. NO jar or canned gravy. Corn. Peas. Ocean spray jellied cranberry sauce. NO homemade cranberry. Dinner rolls. Apple Pie.
For breakfast and watching Macy Parade....fresh baked cinnamon rolls (Pillsbury dough in a can).

I wouldn't purchase my entire Thanksgiving meal from a church youth group (or any organization) but I'd be more than happy to purchase a pie or other dessert from the organization. Have you thought about that option?

I would need giblet gravy for that dressing (stuffing). Thanksgiving would be a hard meal to cater, or fundraise with as so many families have specific recipes. Covid makes me want to cook all our food or at least from a food safe certified kitchen.

Now that I think about it, would it even be legal for your youth group to prepare all that food for sale? (Like, does your kitchen have to be approved by health department, does someone need food handling training?)

My ideal thanksgiving which isn't too over the top, for just the 5 of us for example would be: - Turkey - Stuffing/dressing with sausage - I prefer cornbread stuffing - Green beans sautéed with slivered almonds - Mashed potatoes - Gravy - Cranberry sauce made from fresh If it were a bigger group I might also add: Spinach salad, glazed carrots
Dessert is pumpkin pie and apple pie

It might be too hard to get all the sides into a disposable container though. Not sure. What about just making it a thanksgiving pie fundraiser? With lots of different homemade pies? I'd buy a couple.

My ideal plate includes white meat turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, cranberries, green bean casserole, glazed carrots, and some sort of roll. My mother-in-law usually does ambrosia, and I like a little dish of that as well. Pumpkin and pecan pie for dessert.
