According to the National Turkey Federation, 91% of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving. But a study by the consumer research firm NPD Group, one in three households will not cook their own turkey. If you’re one of the 33% who flip the bird duties to someone else, check out the Thanksgiving catering menu at Susan Lawrence Gourmet Foods in Chappaqua.
