Three local restaurants to inspire your turkey day feast

If you need some inspiration for Thursday’s big event (or just want to partake in holiday feasting without setting foot in the kitchen), check out these local restaurants’ takes on turkey, with options ranging from classic cuts to finger sandwiches.

• Countryside Cafe is dishing out its best-selling turkey and dressing, sure to rival any homemade version of the meal, for lunch and dinner Wednesday, Nov. 21 (along with every Thursday year-round, although the restaurant is closed Thanksgiving Day).

  Mountain Oaks Tea Room‘s delicate tea sandwich is as delicious as it is dainty. Recipes rotate seasonally, so be sure to call to check on availability.

• Fazoli’s Turkey Mozzarella Fresco Submarino – made with smoked turkey, mozzarella, pesto, caprese-style peppers and Parmesan peppercorn ranch – never goes out of style, which is why it is served 365 days a year.
