St. Cloud Eateries Serve Up Stress-Free Thanksgiving with Delicious To-Go Options

(KNSI) – Anyone wishing to avoid the mess and hassle of making a Thanksgiving dinner has options to enjoy holiday favorites like turkey and stuffing.

The Copper Kitchen in St. Cloud is one of a handful of places offering a traditional meal. Owner Maddie Waseka puts some of her family’s love into every order. “We’re doing homestyle Thanksgiving meals done in a very typical Minnesota style made with recipes that have been in my family for generations. So very traditional items like a roast turkey roulade. It’s boneless, you don’t have to carve it or anything.”

The dinner will include their famous sides such as sage stuffing, buttered corn, rolls and then a pie of your choice. People can pick between apple, pecan or pumpkin pie for desserts. Waseka explained the grub is premade with easy-to-follow directions. “Everything’s in foil containers. Obviously, you can pop it into the microwave if you’d like. Everything is precooked and ready to reheat. But we made it so that you just set one temperature on your oven, and you pop them in at certain times, and by the time the timer goes off, the entire meal is ready to eat.”

Orders can be made on Copper Kitchen’s website or by calling the restaurant. Food will be picked up between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 22nd.

Several other restaurants are offering Thanksgiving to-go as well. They include the Lost Time Tavern in Sauk Rapids, the Blue Line Sports Bar & Grill in Sartell and St. Cloud, and Grizzlys Wood Fired Grill & Bar in Waite Park.

Coborn’s and Lunds & Byerlys grocery stores also offer a premade holiday dinner to eat at home.
