Our neighbors swear that the special turkey/dressing, and fixins meal from Golden Corral is Superb(!?!)
We do shrimp cocktail with Steaks on the grill, etc
as our Christmas Eve Tradition.

We did Ribeyes on the grill last year for Christmas Eve. Yum! In the past when we lived close to our kids we had Chinese food, but can’t find any decent Chinese food here in TV. Our first year here in 2022 we tried Cody’s $60 takeout holiday dinner and surprisingly it was pretty good. It had both turkey and ham. Haven’t decided what we’ll do this year as we are late getting started on the holiday season after 2.5 weeks in Calif with our family for Thanksgiving. I’m seeing some ideas here we might consider, so thanks all for sharing!

We ordered turkey dinner takeout from Bob Evans last Christmas Eve. We were pleased with it.

Not helpful.

Look at The Fresh Market.

There. That’s better.

Let me get this straight. A single woman is going polish off an entire turkey dinner with all the fixins?

I’m so sorry the OP has to sort through these unhelpful (and rude IMHO) replies.

Again, try The Fresh Market.

Again, there. That’s better.

We’ve done individual Turkey dinner meal from Perkins on 441. It was plentiful and delicious. Also included a slice of pie…your choice. I also understand that Bob Evans would be another possibility.

She is getting suggestion and perhaps alternatives she had not considered. If she wants she could even scroll by.

If making a suggestion that does not exactly match the OP's request is rude, then there are a lot of rude people on TOTV.

Bring your own bag, they won’t give you one.
