WISCONSIN UNION’S HOUSE-MADE, HEAT-AND-SERVE THANKSGIVING TO GO MEALS RETURN, AVAILABLE NOW FOR PRE-ORDER

MADISON – The Wisconsin Union’s house-made, heat-and-serve Thanksgiving meals, called Thanksgiving To Go, have returned, with online ordering through Nov. 19 at 9 a.m. CDT or while supplies last.

Thanksgiving To Go menu options include chef-created group meals for six people, individual-sized meals, and à la carte add-ons to meal purchases.

Patrons can purchase six-person meals for $175. The group-size meals include bourbon turkey or roasted turkey, turkey gravy, herbed green beans, sage stuffing, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, cranberry relish, dinner rolls with butter, and a choice of pumpkin, pecan or fudge bottom pie.

Customers can purchase Individual-sized meals for $18. This includes the choice of a roasted turkey, baked gingersnap mustard-glazed ham or creamy butternut squash lasagna; herbed green beans; cranberry relish; and a choice of mini pumpkin, pecan or fudge bottom pie. Individual-size turkey and ham meals also come with sage stuffing and mashed potatoes. Currently enrolled University of Wisconsin–Madison students with active Wiscards are eligible to purchase an individual-sized meal for $15.

When purchasing their meals, patrons can buy additional servings of cranberry relish, turkey gravy, creamy butternut squash lasagna, fudge bottom pie, pumpkin pie or pecan pie.

All are welcome to order the Wisconsin Union’s Thanksgiving To Go, including those with no University affiliation. When ordering, customers will select a pick-up appointment for a time between 11 a.m.–5:30 p.m. at Tripp Commons in Memorial Union on Nov. 27.

The Wisconsin Union has held Thanksgiving To Go since 2004. Thanksgiving To Go purchases help support the nonprofit Wisconsin Union’s student leadership opportunities and student leader stipends.

“Ordering Wisconsin Union Thanksgiving To Go meals means more holiday enjoyment and that you’re still enjoying a meal made from scratch,” Wisconsin Union Deputy Director Susan Dibbell said. “Customers say they love skipping the busy grocery stores and meal prep and that they save hundreds of dollars when ordering a family Thanksgiving meal from us instead of making it themselves.”

Customers interested in ordering Thanksgiving To Go can visit union.wisc.edu/thanksgiving.
