Turkey Time: Stocking Your Thanksgiving Table

Snow may not be in the air, but Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Complete your Thanksgiving feast by turning to local experts for all the components. From sides to pies, find out where to order from locally:

Sides

Jackson Whole Grocer is making holiday orders easy with a simple, easy-to-use online system. From their online menu you can choose your entree, stuffing, sides, salad and desserts. Will you go with the traditional herb stuffing or the cornbread version? We’d like to try the vanilla bean whipped sweet potatoes or the butternut squash soup. Place your order online by clicking HERE.turkey

Main event

Pick up your turkey from Aspens Market on the West Bank or at Jackson Whole Grocer. For smoked turkeys or hams, turn to Moe’s Original Bar B Que. Call 307-733-6637 to reserve your bird. If red meat is more your style, Jackson Hole Buffalo Meat Company is running a special of 10 percent off buffalo prime ribs and elk racks.ElkRack

Pie

So many pies, so little time! Take your pick from The Bunnery, Bubba’s, Persephone or Midnight Pie Co. At Bubba’s, you can place your order by calling 307-733-2288. With plenty of pie experience, a very popular pumpkin pie, order from The Bunnery at 307-733-5474. If Persephone is your favorite, place your order online for caramel apple pie, bourbon pecan pie, traditional pumpkin pie, chocolate chiffon pie or pumpkin pie tartlets with chai meringue and candied pecans. The deadline to order is November 26. Or, have you been missing the farmers market pies from Midnight Pie Co.? We have! Six unique flavors are available: buttermilk pumpkin, sweet potato marshmallow, maple pecan, chocolate oat, Ginger CranPeary or salted caramel apple. Can’t decide? That’s what the Frankenpie is for: a pie with six different slices. Orders are available online through November 22, with pickup available at Roam either November 26 or 27.persephone pie

*Persephone Bakery is also offering Parker House rolls and Midnight Pie Co. is taking orders for buttermilk biscuits.

Beverages

There are plenty of places to pick up the booze to make your holiday merry and bright: The Liquor Store, JH Marketplace, Basecamp, Bin22 or Bodega. When shopping at Bin22, Bodega, Jackson Hole Marketplace or Basecamp, the added bonus is the opportunity to pick up some gourmet grocery items to make your own charcuterie platter as well. If wine is on your list, think locally: Jackson Hole Winery’s Chardonnay would make a great pairing for your turkey and pie. If beer is more your style, Roadhouse Pub & Eatery is running a two-for-one special on growlers. No better time to try their new sweet potato porter, Outcasty. For last minute shopping, Bin 22 and Bodega will both be open until noon on Thanksgiving.jackson hole winery
