Everyone agrees that Thanksgiving is all about the food, but we don't necessarily have to be the ones to cook it. After all, many of us have already spent way too much time in the kitchen this year. Some people are choosing to skip Thanksgiving dinner altogether and head to McDonald's, KFC, Burger King or Popeyes for a bite to eat. Others prefer to get a take-out Thanksgiving meal from one of the many restaurants offering them, such as Boston Market and Bravo! Italian Kitchen. If you're looking to dine-in for your fast food Thanksgiving dinner, head to one of these 11 chains on Turkey Day.
