With individuals and families across New Jersey celebrating solo or in smaller groups this Thanksgiving, making a massive feast is not a necessity. You can prepare your own mini-dinner with all the fixings as an alternative, you may prefer to skip traditional dishes entirely, or you might decide that Turkey Day takeout is the way to go. If option three is your pick, you’ve got choices! These New Jersey restaurants all offer delicious Thanksgiving takeout and dinners to go in the perfect portions to meet your needs.
