This year, turn the Thanksgiving cooking over to a local chef so that you can relax and enjoy the holiday!  We've scoured the Greater Lowell area and found quite a few restaurants, caterers and stores that are providing prepared Thanksgiving dinners. 

Note that all of these Thanksgiving dinner options MUST be ordered well in advance!  Please see each listing for the "order by" date.  Some required pick up on Wednesday November 23, while a few are open on Thanksgiving Day.
