Ordering Prepared Thanksgiving Dinner To-Go

The prepared holiday meals are available throughout the months of 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, below are my tips and tricks for serving a prepared holiday meal. 

Because the sides were completely frozen and needed 2-3 days to thaw in the refrigerator, you’ll need to plan ahead.

  • The Smithfield Spiral Sliced ham is fully cooked and just 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.

  1. I ordered turkey breast dinner for 2. There was no instructions included for heating turkey breast. What oven temperature and how long to heat? Please reply via email I provided.

  2. First time ordering dinner and it will be the last. When ordering I asked very specific questions about time and instructions for reheating. Was told “whole dinner is freezer to oven”. No mention turkey had to thaw in fridge before reheating. Asked if sides came in oven proof containers. Was told all sides were “freezer to oven”. All sides came in plastic containers not to be used in oven. Some required Microwave, some to be put in oven safe container and heated in oven. Being in someone else’s home trying to thaw a precooked frozen turkey in the microwave, find ovenproof pans for sides, heat some in the oven some in the microwave was way more stressful than cooking the whole thing myself. It was more work and mess than had I done it myself. Will never order again, and would not have if my questions had been answered correctly. Bad experience for me!

    Picked up my meal yesterday….first they did not have the order at all despite my having a confirmation email, then they found it but the order was wrong. They ended up giving me what I ordered however this morning I opened the package and found I have 2 gravy and no stuffing and no rolls. What a disappointment.

  4. Why cant you order what you want like a small han and a small turkey .mashed potatoes and stuffing and green beans

    1. I just was told to cook for 2.5 hours at 350 degrees. She also mentioned to only cut the first bag and leave the second one on so it can come out juicy. First time doing a turkey 😅
