Premade Thanksgiving dinners in Sonoma

Some of us love to cook, some of us love not to cook, some of us love to go out to restaurants, some of us are lucky to be invited to other people’s homes, and some of us just want Thanksgiving dinner to come easy.

So here are some local easy ways to bring Turkey Day to your home. Plan two to three hours to reheat and prepare these meals.
