Vance Martin, owner and chef of Lili's Bistro.

Maybe you like to cook, but not 12 different things on the same day. Maybe you don't want to lift a finger in the kitchen. Luckily, a handful of Cowtown's more popular eating establishments offer gourmet Thanksgiving dinners you can bring home.

Chef Keith Hicks at Buttons will smoke a 9- to 12-pound turkey for $35, and you can get Keith's sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, glazed baby carrots, cranberry sauce and giblet gravy by the quart for $9 to $14, as well as dinner rolls by the dozen for $5. Order by Nov. 23 and pick up on Nov. 25. 817-735-4900; www.buttonsrestaurant.com.

If you’d like some of the elegance served at Lanny's Alta Cocina Mexicana, try Lanny Lancarte II’s chile ancho-butternut squash soup or cannellini bean soup is $14 to $16; turkey-mole poblano tamales or goat cheese-butternut squash tamales are $24 to $28 per dozen; and pumpkin cheesecake or Valrhona chocolate pecan pie, $32 to $34. Call 817-850-9996.

Vance Martin at Lili's Bistro on Magnolia offers a whole Thanksgiving package, too. For $99, you get a dinner for four that includes four chile-rubbed Cornish game hens with tamale-cornbread dressing, chicken-mushroom gravy, cranberry mousse and two side dishes. Your side choices include smoked creamed corn, green bean casserole, sweet potato souffle, mashed potatoes and roasted acorn squash. If you want additional sides, they're $10 for four servings. Want appetizers, too? Deviled eggs, wasabi cheese ball and polenta fry bites are options, and most are $21. For dessert, there's apple pie, buttermilk pie, shoo fly pie, heaven and hell cake and banana upside-down cake, $16-$38. Order by Nov. 21; 817-877-0700.
