Safeway Prepared Thanksgiving Dinner To Go 2025
Don’t stress about cooking a complete Thanksgiving meal this season. Let Safeway or Albertsons help with a prepared Thanksgiving dinner to go, complete with all the sides. There are several options, starting at $79.99. Choose from a whole turkey or a spiral-sliced ham. Safeway also used to offer a prime rib option, but that has since been discontinued in the Mountain West division in 2025, likely due to higher-than-usual beef prices. It’s still available in other divisions for $99.99.
Furthermore, the meals arrive frozen, so you will need 2 days for all the food to thaw. Nonetheless, the fully cooked meal will need 2-3 hours to reheat.
Additionally, you can purchase extra side dishes, which are available from your local in-store deli.
You can choose from extra potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes with maple syrup, gravy, cranberry sauce, or spiced apples.
See below for the Thanksgiving meal, side pricing details, cooking times, and tips. Next, you can watch the video below that shows the meal kits and cooking times for each item in the prepared holiday ham kit.

Ordering Prepared Thanksgiving Dinner To-Go
The prepared holiday meals are available throughout November and December.
As a result, the meals must be ordered ahead of time, so you can stop by your local store deli, call 1-888-358-7328 or visit Safeway.com/orderahead and click on Holiday Meals to place your order.
While you can order ahead online, you will still need to stop into your local store to pick up the meal from the deli.
Cooking Instructions for Prepared Thanksgiving Meals
Safeway recently sent me the prepared holiday ham meal to create a video to feature the complete meal. Hence, my tips and tricks for preparing a holiday meal are below.
You’ll need to plan ahead because the sides were completely frozen and needed 2-3 days to thaw in the refrigerator.
- The Smithfield Spiral Sliced ham is fully cooked and needs to be glazed and heated. Hence, allow for 1.5 hours for the ham to cook at 400°.
- The scalloped potatoes need a casserole dish, therefore, I used an 11″ x 7″ baking dish and baked them covered for 40 minutes at 350°
- Because the green bean casserole does not come with fried onions, you will need to purchase them separately. I used a 10″ x 7″ baking dish. Cook uncovered for 30 minutes at 350°.
- Cook the mashed sweet potatoes in the microwave for 3 minutes, uncovered. I used an oval baking dish (10″ x 7″).
- Warm the mashed potatoes in the microwave for 3 minutes, with the plastic wrap vented.
- Heat the stuffing in the microwave for 1 minute, or in the oven for 25 minutes at 350°.
- The spiced apples are cooked in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Therefore, any microwave bowl will work here.
- Conversely, the cranberry sauce does not need to be cooked, just served in a pretty bowl.
- Finally, the gravy can be cooked in the microwave or on the stovetop (I would choose the stovetop to free up the microwave for the side dishes).
All-in-all, we were impressed with the flavor of the meal and ease of preparation. Indeed, I feel if you know these cooking times, the size of baking dishes needed, and make a plan ahead of time, it will make your holiday celebration go smoothly and no one has to know it was a fully purchased prepared meal they enjoyed.
Prepared Holiday Desserts
It wouldn’t be a holiday celebration without dessert! As such, Safeway has a comprehensive selection of pies for your holiday meal.
Be sure to pick up a gorgeous Holiday Yule Log Cake to adorn your table.
Additionally, pies are also available to purchase through the Holiday Meal Order Ahead site, under the Pies category. Subsequently, pies and desserts can be purchased in the Safeway bakery through Safeway grocery delivery and the Drive Up & Go pickup service.
