Editor's Choice: HelloFresh

Whether this is your first year hosting Thanksgiving or what feels like your one hundredth, HelloFresh's Thanksgiving dinner box eases the stress of holiday meal preparation. Even if you aren't a HelloFresh member, you can feast on delicious mains and sides—such as turkey, mashed potatoes, roasted squash, ciabatta stuffing, and apple ginger crisp—that serve as many as 10 people . Choose between one of two menus surrounded by mouth-watering sides: one featuring a whole roasted turkey and the other with roasted beef tenderloin. Your HelloFresh box arrives on your doorstep a few days before Thanksgiving and is packed with fresh ingredients to make each dish; all you have to do is assemble and cook it. The instructions are super easy to follow, so beginners and expert cooks alike can create a craveable holiday spread. Just make sure you allow the frozen turkey four days to thaw, and your Thanksgiving dinner is bound to be a hit.

"We cooked up HelloFresh's Thanksgiving dinner box for an editor taste test, and this meal kit was a hit," said Editor Laura Miller. "I'd never cooked a whole turkey before, much less a complete Thanksgiving spread. HelloFresh's easy-to-follow instructions made me feel confident preparing every dish. Portions were generous, and the food was flavorful and tasted homemade—because it was!"

Choose between medium and large turkeys, which range in weight between 12 and 18 pounds. Then, try one of Crowd Cow's delicious recipes for preparing your bird, including classic roast turkey or Southern-style turkey, for an unforgettable Thanksgiving main course.

Every cut of meat from Rastelli's is certified antibiotic, steroid, and hormone free, and the online butcher works closely with its farmers to ensure the animals are ethically raised.

Founded by former restaurant chefs, the online butcher shop ensures its animals are pasture-raised; fed vegetarian, non-GMO feed; and given proper attention with in-person visits. What's more, every piece of meat is meticulously hand-cut at Porter Road's Kentucky facility. Pick from whole chickens that feed five to six people, or opt for drumsticks or breasts for two-person meals.
