- Roasted Turkey Breast, Sliced For a smaller table, or for the second protein on a larger one.
- Hickory Smoked Ham With apricot dijon glaze.
- Apple Chutney Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
- Twice Baked Vegan Sweet Potatoes VEGAN Stuffed with caramelized onions, brown rice, cranberry, pecans and bell peppers, baked and finished with a balsamic maple glaze. A vegan main that is genuinely a main, not a side with a promotion. More plant-based dishes on our vegan and vegetarian menu.

How Much Turkey Per Person?
The question that decides whether you spend December eating leftovers. This is the working guidance we use when we size a Thanksgiving order.
- 1-1.5 lb per person
Whole Turkey
That sounds like a lot because it includes the bone. A pound a head covers the meal; a pound and a half gives you sandwiches on Friday, which for most families is the actual point.
- ½ lb per person
Boneless Turkey Breast
No bone, so the number halves. Plan the higher end if the breast is the only protein.
- 4-6 oz per person, per side
Sides
With four or five sides on the table, nobody takes a full portion of each. This is where over-ordering happens.
- 5-6 oz per person
Stuffing & Potatoes
These two are the exception. People do take full portions, and they are the first things to run out.
- 1.5 slices per person
Dessert
Two pies for twelve guests, in two different flavors. One pie is never enough and three is a January problem.
Our sizing does this math for you. Small serves 8 to 10 and large serves 15 to 20, so a table of twelve is one large of each item you want, and a table of twenty-five is a large plus a small.
Start My Thanksgiving Order
Pickup, Delivery, or We Set It Up
Thanksgiving dinner is a pickup holiday: we hand it over from our kitchen on Wednesday, November 25, between 9 AM and 12 PM, and we are closed on Thanksgiving Day so our team can have the holiday too. For office lunches and Friendsgiving earlier in November, it is business as usual. Three options:
Pickup for Thanksgiving Dinner
Collect from our kitchen at 1170 South Kalamath Street on Wednesday, November 25, between 9 AM and 12 PM. Cold items are ready to serve, the turkey is oven-ready, and reheating instructions come with the order.
Delivery
For orders earlier in November. We bring it to your door across the Denver metro. Delivery may be billed separately depending on distance.
Delivery and Setup
For office lunches and Friendsgiving earlier in November. We arrange the table and leave. Worth it if you are hosting twenty people and would rather greet them than plate potatoes.
Want staff on site through the meal for a November event? That is a full-service event and we quote it per person. We do not deliver or serve on Thanksgiving Day itself.
Thanksgiving for the Office, and for Friendsgiving
Two versions of this that are not a family dinner, and both work off the same menu.
The Office Thanksgiving Lunch
Usually the week before, usually at midday, usually bigger than the planner expects. Sliced turkey breast travels and serves better than a whole bird in an office, and the sides hold on a buffet line. Book it alongside your December party and the kitchen can plan both at once.
For the rest of the year there is corporate catering, and for December, holiday party catering in Denver.
Friendsgiving
Earlier in November, younger crowd, more grazing than seating. The Artisan Cheese Board plus sliced turkey breast, two or three sides and a pie covers it, and nobody has to own a roasting pan.
How to Order Thanksgiving Catering
Order by Friday, November 20
The kitchen closes the Thanksgiving list earlier than people expect, because every order cooks in the same two days. Late November is not the time to find out we are full.
Count Your Guests Honestly, Then Round Up One Size
Thanksgiving is the one meal where leftovers are part of the plan. If you are between the small and the large, take the large.
Plan Your Wednesday Pickup
Thanksgiving dinner orders are picked up from our kitchen on Wednesday, November 25, between 9 AM and 12 PM. Ordering for earlier in November? Tell us when you order if you want it delivered.
Tell Us About Dietary Needs Now, Not Later
The Twice Baked Vegan Sweet Potatoes and the Flourless Chocolate Cake cover vegan and gluten-free guests, and we can adjust other items with notice. On the week itself, we cannot.

Plan 1 to 1.5 pounds of whole turkey per person, which includes the bone, or about half a pound per person of boneless turkey breast. Go to the higher end if you want leftovers, which most families do. For sides, plan 4 to 6 ounces per person per side, and 5 to 6 ounces for stuffing and mashed potatoes, which people take full portions of.
Our Herb Roasted Whole Turkey arrives oven-ready, rubbed with herb butter and aromatics, so it finishes in your oven and your house smells like Thanksgiving. Sliced roasted turkey breast is ready to serve. Reheating instructions come with every order.
Yes. Everything on the menu is ordered individually. Plenty of our Thanksgiving orders are two or three items alongside a bird someone is cooking at home, most often the stuffing, the mashed potatoes and a pie.
