The Best Omaha Steaks Thanksgiving Dinner Meals Reviewed

1. Cozy Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner – Best Complete Thanksgiving Dinner

The Thanksgiving Turkey Feast is a full meal, with leftovers to spare. This meal starts with a 10-pound Whole Basted Turkey basted in brown sugar and honey. The turkey comes with a cooking bag and a pop-up timer, so you’ll know when your bird is done to perfection. Your turkey will need 3-4 days to thaw in the refrigerator, or 5-7 hours in cold water, followed by 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours to cook in the oven bag provided.

Omaha Steaks also sends 3 side dishes with your turkey. There are 24 ounces of Green Bean Casserole, 32 ounces of Smashed Red Potatoes, and 20 ounces of Steakhouse Creamed Corn. All arrive frozen in trays and can be prepared in the microwave or a conventional oven.

If you still have room, Omaha Steaks includes baguettes and dessert. You get 4 baguettes pre-buttered with garlic butter. For dessert, there’s a Pumpkin Pie which needs to be thawed in the refrigerator overnight but needs no additional preparation. Our dedicated review has more details on the service’s offerings.

2. Thanksgiving Ham Feast – Best Thanksgiving Meal for Ham Lovers

If poultry isn’t doing it for you anymore, this premium ham may well become a family tradition at your home. This ham is cured and smoked for over 24 hours, then brushed with a brown sugar glaze and spiral-sliced for serving convenience. While most commercial hams are injected with brine and water, there’s nothing here but meat.

You’ll need to thaw your ham in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours, then bake it for 60-75 minutes at 325 F to reheat it. The ham is already pre-cooked, so you just need to warm it up. 

You get a slightly different selection of side dishes with this feast. You’ll get 8 baguettes that can be served with dinner or saved for some tasty ham sandwiches later. You also get 19 oz (across 2 trays) of Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots, 48 ounces (across 4 trays) of Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and 6 individual Caramel Apple Tartlets which can be reheated from frozen in the microwave, oven, or air fryer.

3. Butcher's Cut Chateaubriand – Best Thanksgiving Roast

For one of the best roasts you can get, try the Butcher’s Cut Chateaubriand. Like filet mignon, a Chateaubriand comes from the beef tenderloin. But the Chateaubriand comes from the center-cut of the tenderloin, which is located between the sirloin and the rib of the steer. A properly cooked Chateaubriand is just as juicy and fork-tender as a filet mignon. The only difference is that it’s larger, so it can feed multiple people.

The Omaha Steaks Chateaubriand is aged for at least 30 days for tenderness. When the beef reaches its aging peak, Omaha Steaks flash freezes it. Flash freezing uses extremely low temperatures to freeze meats faster than a standard household freezer. This preserves the meat at the perfect level of aging until you thaw and cook it.

The Butcher’s Cut Chateaubriand is double-trimmed, so it’s extra lean. But while lean cuts can often be dry and tasteless, dry-aging ensures that you get a fork-tender roast. Omaha Steaks recommends you cook it at 250 F for 1-2 hours, but with Chateaubriand, less is more. I strongly advise that you skip the “well done” instructions and cook this to rare or medium rare.

4. Lemon Dill Salmon Fillets – Best Pescatarian Thanksgiving

Fish lovers don’t have to feel left out this Thanksgiving. In addition to its beef, Omaha Steaks has a large selection of flash-frozen seafood. These Lemon-Dill Salmon Fillets come in a 4-pack or 8-pack for convenience.

There’s no set Thanksgiving deal with any of the fish options, so you’ll have to make or order sides and desserts to go with it. 

If these salmon fillets don’t take your fancy, there’s a large choice of other fish and seafood options, such as Faroe Islands Salmon Fillets, Wild Argentinian Red Shrimp, and Sole Almondine.

5. Sausage and Cranberry Dressing – Best Thanksgiving Stuffing

If you’re like me, stuffing is a must-have for Thanksgiving dinner. This take on Thanksgiving stuffing starts with bread croutons, chicken stock, sauteed onions, celery, and an herb blend of parsley, basil, oregano, and thyme. But then Omaha Steaks adds mild Italian sausage and dried cranberries. The dried cranberries are a welcome change from canned cranberry sauce.

For the finishing touch, Omaha Steaks adds a dollop of duck fat. Duck fat gives this dressing a savory taste that brings all the other ingredients together. It’s a must-have for Thanksgiving but is also a great choice for Christmas and other holiday meals – or as a great side dish anytime.

To cook, simply take the tray out of the freezer, remove the packaging, and cover it with foil. Cook for 40 minutes at 375 F. Then remove the foil, stir the stuffing, and let it cook for another 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 F. You can order this meal in a 6-serving or 12-serving size.
