Thanksgiving is the time to sit down with family and friends around the table. Togetherness. Gratitude. Seasonal celebration. Not stress. Hours in the kitchen. Mountains of dirty dishes. Stressing about whether the turkey is too dry or too moist. At Pusateri’s, we know your holiday should be easy and elegant. That’s why we’ve gathered all the things you need to pull off a stress-free Thanksgiving dinner, from prepared holiday meals to bakery sweets, premium meats and our full-service catering. All to help you focus on what’s important.
Let Us Help You Skip the Holiday Kitchen Overload
We know that many of you like to cook from scratch. We also know how stressful it can get when you attempt to do it all yourself on Thanksgiving Day. That’s why we’re here. Our chefs create seasonal favourites, our butchers source the best turkey and meats, we’ve brought in the best pies and baked goods, and our catering team takes care of everything from delivery straight into the oven. With us in your corner, you’ll serve a gourmet meal with zero stress.
Prepared Foods Made for Effortless Hosting
Our prepared foods make a carefree holiday possible. Each dish is prepared with the same care and attention you’d give your own kitchen, but without the time investment.
Roasted turkey with crispy golden skin, creamy mashed potatoes, and rich, savoury stuffing, we make the classics just the way you like them. We also have seasonal sides that add freshness and flair to your table, like maple-glazed vegetables, green beans with citrus-herb gremolata and our legendary traditional bread stuffing.
All you have to do is heat, plate and serve. Your guests will never know you didn’t spend hours in the kitchen.
Premium Meats to Anchor Your Feast
Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without a beautiful centrepiece on the table. That’s why our butchery offers ABF Canada Grade A whole turkeys, available in sizes perfect for families, large and small. These birds are plump, tender, and ideal for roasting.
Looking for something beyond turkey? We also carry a wide range of premium meats: pork tenderloin, chicken legs, prime beef cuts, and lamb. Many of our customers choose to complement their turkey with a second protein to offer guests a variety of options. Whether it’s a glazed ham, roasted chicken, or a tenderloin served family-style, our selection ensures your feast is nothing short of extraordinary.
Bakery Classics Without the Work
No Thanksgiving is complete without dessert, and our bakery has you covered with carefully crafted holiday favourites daily, so your dessert table is as memorable as the main meal.

- Apple pie layered with tart apples and just the right touch of cinnamon

Catering That Scales to Your Crowd
