If you’re like most people, you’re moving full-throttle ahead into Thanksgiving plans. Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving in your home or you’ve been tasked with bringing a few items to a friend or family member’s house, check out this list of amazing spots in Scottsdale to pick up your supplies.
Where to Buy Turkeys in Scottsdale
When you’re responsible for the whole bird, you have to get it right. We recommend picking up your turkey from:
- Trader Joes in Lincoln Village Shopping Center, where you can get an organic and free-range turkey of nearly any size
- Sprouts at 4402 North Miller Road, where you can also pick up all the seasonings and sides you need to make a fabulous dinner
- Natural Grocers at 13802 North Scottsdale Road, which is hosting a quick talk on organic, non-GMO turkeys on November 23
Pro tip: If you’re preparing the turkey yourself, check out these fabulous recipes from Food & Wine.

Where to Buy Thanksgiving Desserts in Scottsdale
Everyone saves room for dessert on Thanksgiving, which means you have to choose wisely – and these are some of the best spots in Scottsdale to pick up all the sweets you need:
- SugarJam Bake Shop & Bistro. Now is the time to pre-order their special 9-inch deep-dish pies. Choose between bourbon pecan, caramel apple, standard apple, cherry crumb, pumpkin and even southern sweet potato pie. Learn more here.
- PIEfection in Mesa. This sweet treat shop is known for its “pie of the month,” which happens to be a delectable pecan pumpkin pie for November. You’ll also love their no-sugar-added orchard fruit pies, which you have to special order, and their French crumb pies like country apple, Georgia peach, triple berry and cherry. Learn more here.
Tips for Hosting Thanksgiving
If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner in your new home, use these tips to make the whole day easier:
- Delegate tasks. Ask friends and family to bring appetizers, side dishes and desserts. (You can even forward them this list of places to pick up Thanksgiving supplies in Scottsdale.)
- Set the table the day before Thanksgiving. You’ll save yourself a lot of time on the big day if the table is already ready to go.
- Buy ingredients or pre-made dishes well in advance. You can order pies up to a week before Thanksgiving, for example, so you don’t have to rush to pick things up – and you can start picking up dry goods and frozen ingredients today.
- Decorate long before the big day. Your family won’t mind looking at Thanksgiving-themed decor a couple weeks in advance of the holiday, and you’ll have plenty of time to perfect things between now and Thanksgiving.
- Plan to send leftovers home with your guests. Pick up the one-use foil containers you’ll need to ship off extra turkey, side dishes and pie with your family and friends.
