Stores offering ready-made meals this year include Whole Foods, Cracker Barrel, Raley’s, Safeway and Sprouts, each with heat-and-serve bundles that cover staples like turkey, ham and holiday sides. Many of the meals also come with mashed potatoes, stuffing and rolls, giving shoppers a full spread without the prep work or cleanup.
