Thanksgiving is fast approaching which means for most of us that a big home-cooked feast is in the cards. Of course, if you're not a whiz in the kitchen, or say live in a condo with mini amenities then the thought of cooking a turkey dinner complete with stuffing, candied yams and pie might just be an overwhelming undertaking. Thankfully, plenty of Toronto restaurants will be serving up festive meals or will even do the cooking for you for delivery or pick-up.

Here are my top picks for Thanksgiving dinner in Toronto.
