Where to Order Dairy-Free Thanksgiving Dinner (with Vegan Options)

Our list starts with the nationwide options, then the regional places, followed by the local restaurants and shops. The local spots are roughly listed from the West to East Coast. Please comment if you know of other places to order dairy-free Thanksgiving dinner! We will update this list annually and as we learn of more options.

Whole Foods – Nationwide

This year, they are offering a vegan meal for two, complete with creamed greens, cornbread dressing, and more. They don’t have a pre-set dairy-free feast, but it’s easy to build your own! For mains, they have dairy-free turkeys, ham, lamb, and even crab cakes available. Their sides are loaded with vegan options (even mac and cheese and sweet potato casserole!), plus they have paleo and a few “just dairy free” options, like the mushrooms. And yes, they have vegan pies, too!

How to Search Tips: Their “made without dairy ingredients” filter doesn’t really work (they haven’t tagged anything for it!). But you can start with the vegan and paleo option, then view the allergens on other options of interest. They have the allergens noted under the expanded nutrition facts for each item.

Sprouts – Nationwide

Their Vegan Roast Meal includes a main from Field Roast in addition to green bean casserole, cornbread stuffing, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, and sourdough bread. If you’re feeding non-vegans, you can order turkey, hams, and roasts separately. Depending on your location, they might be able to customize a full meal to be dairy-free with the plant-based sides and a meaty entrée.

You can’t get all the fixins’ at this casual chain, but our Holiday Menu section in our Dairy-Free Boston Market Guide offers mains and a few surprise sauces, sides, and dessert!
