Thanksgiving turkey-themed cupcakes, available in any of the current flavors at Saint Cupcake.

For your dining pleasure GoLocalPDX has provided some awesome Turkey Day take-out options available for pre-order from your favorite grocers and shops.

Ahh, the tribulations of Thanksgiving! Why sure, we'll have some drinks, then eat till we can't feel "feelings" anymore, then take a nice 4-hour nap on the floor to the sounds of 300-pound men beating the crap out of each other on the football field.

But what if you don't feel like cooking? GoLocalPDX has provided some great Turkey Day take-out options.

What's waiting for you when you wake up? Some delicious table-to-cone Hazelnut Rosemary Stuffing-flavored ice cream from Salt & Straw! Okay...maybe not that flavor, though they do have some delicious one's lined up for you this Thanksgiving like Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey. Yes, turkey-flavored ice cream.

Well...it is Portland. In preparation for the big GoLocalPDX brings you a list of the best places to find your favorite holiday drinks, dishes and desserts.

As many of these delectables may sell-out (or need additional prep time) make sure to place your order early for any of the items listed below.
