Thanksgiving, the home cook’s favorite holiday, the day when cooks of every skill level take on feast-worthy recipes, is not for every kitchen. Some folks, home cooks among them, prefer to be thankful for other people’s cooking.

In that spirit of gratitude to hardworking restaurants, here are a few places to dine at – or pick up your feast at – on Thanksgiving:

CAFÉ BOULUD

Daniel Boulud’s fine café, located inside the Brazilian Court Hotel, is serving a three-course Thanksgiving feast from 1 to 9 p.m. on Thursday. Starter options include roasted beet salad with heirloom apples and Stilton, celery, chestnut and apple veloute, butternut squash soufflé and venison terrine. The main course offers a twist on the roast turkey standard – a braised thigh crepinette (the bird’s most flavorful meat wrapped sausage-like and roasted) with a sourdough and confit leg stuffing, sweet potato puree, fall vegetable gratin, Brussels sprouts and spiced cranberry compote. For the sweet finale, a choice of seasonal desserts that include old fashioned pumpkin pie and apple cinnamon tatin with salted caramel ice cream.

The Thanksgiving meal costs $75 per person, excluding tax, tip and drink ($30 for children under age 10). And here’s an added bonus: Each guest gets a Thanksgiving turkey sandwich, prepared by chef Jim Leiken, to take home. (You do get leftovers, after all.)

FOUR SEASONS RESORT PALM BEACH

Executive chef Darryl Moiles whips up quite a holiday spread at the Four Seasons. The resort serves Thanksgiving meals Thursday at its Ocean Bistro (from 5:30 to 10 p.m.) and The Restaurant (noon to 8 p.m.), and offers a turkey-to-go option.

At $65 per person, the Ocean Bistro’s four-course feast is a tempting option. To start, there’s a choice of pumpkin soup and polenta croutons, or a wild arugula salad topped with crispy prosciutto and pickled persimmon. For the main course, choose from a tupelo honey cider-glazed turkey with a leek-spoonbread stuffing or braised beef short rib with wild mushrooms. That’s followed by an artisanal cheese course. And dessert is a pumpkin trilogy of sweets or an apple bread pudding.

Meanwhile, The Restaurant offers a sumptuous Thanksgiving buffet ($110 per person, $35 kids ages 5 to 12; excluding tax and tip). It’s quite a spread, from stone crabs to ceviche, fresh-picked local greens, charcuterie, sushi and dim sum, roast Thanksgiving turkey, braised lamb, filet mignon, macadamia-crusted mahi mahi, and tons of desserts.
