Cooking Thanksgiving dinner from scratch is no joke. Believe me, I tried it once. And while everyone has their secret family recipe for the perfect gravy, the exact spices for the best butternut squash soup, or their personal spin on the cranberry sauce, sometimes letting someone else take care of the cooking gives you space to focus on what's important: the guests.
Take a look at our guide to Thanksgiving diners in Collin County and enjoy a stress-free Thanksgiving Day.
