Metro delivers its Thanksgiving menu Monday, November 16 through Wednesday, November 25.
As the person planning the lunch, you can build the whole meal from one menu: turkey, sides, hors d'oeuvres, and pie.
Order it for 12 guests or more, and build it from two proteins and two sides.
For a traditional table, pair the Herbed Roasted Turkey Breast in Gravy with the Pineapple Honey Glazed Ham, then add Creamy Mashed Potatoes and the Green Bean Casserole with Mushroom Crème Fraiche & Crispy Shallots.
To skip the turkey, choose the Red Wine Braised Short Ribs and the Pomegranate Glazed Oven Baked Salmon, with Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Hot Honey & Dukkah Spice and Pecan Cranberry Wild Rice on the side.
If some of your guests are vegan, make the Charred Kale Stuffed Vegan Meatloaf one protein and the turkey the other. Then choose the Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pearl Onions & Shiitake Mushrooms and the Butternut Squash Vegan Mac & Cheese, which the portal marks vegan, so those guests have a protein and two sides of their own.
The buffet has six proteins and eight sides in all, including Fennel Crusted Roasted Pork, Marshmallow Toasted Candied Sweet Potatoes, and Vermont Cheddar Mac & Cheese. See every choice on Metro's Thanksgiving menu.
Every buffet comes with the Fall Leaf Salad (frisée, radicchio, candied pecans, shaved Parmesan, Granny Smith apples, blue cheese, and maple balsamic dressing), Cornbread Apple Stuffing, Fresh Cranberry-Pomegranate Sauce, and Mini Harvest & Cornbread Muffins. You can add a third protein or extra sides to the same order.
Metro slices the bird before delivery so it's ready to serve, and sends homemade gravy with it. Add the Whole Turkey to the buffet or order it on its own.
For individual portions, each Turkey Pot Pie Mini is herb roasted turkey, carrots, parsnips, and peas in a buttery cream sauce, wrapped in puff pastry.
If you want a lighter lunch, the Thanksgiving Hors d'oeuvres Display has five kinds on one tray: Mini Turkey Pot Pie Bites, Crispy Cheddar Potato Croquette, Goat Cheese Figs in a Blanket, Malt Glazed Turkey Meatballs, and Cranberry Mustard.
To build your own tray, order by the piece, starting at 20 of each kind. The vegetarian choices are Whipped Brie & Cranberry Tarts, Crispy Cheddar Potato Croquette, and Goat Cheese Figs in a Blanket. Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts and Winter Herb Lamb Chops have gluten-free tags. The list also includes the Short Rib & Savory Cornbread Bite, Chicken Apple Sausage in a Puff Pastry Blanket, Mini Crab Cakes, and Lobster Mac & Cheese Bites.
For the middle of the table, choose Warm Dip, a cheesy spinach and artichoke dip with toasted crostini (vegetarian); Autumn Crudité with lemon white bean dip and buttermilk herb dressing (vegetarian, gluten-free); a Cheese Display (vegetarian, nuts); or a Charcuterie Board.
Whole Pies arrive pre-sliced into eight pieces with fresh whipped cream. Mini Harvest Tarts are an assortment of caramel apple, pecan, and turtle cheesecake, and Pumpkin Mousse Shooters come individually. All three desserts have vegetarian tags.
If your office serves alcohol, the Pomegranate Margarita has fresh pomegranate juice, 1800 Reposado, Cointreau, lime, and maple syrup.
Ask about allergies and diets when you send the invite, then match the replies to the tags on the portal. The cranberry sauce that comes with every buffet is vegan and gluten-free.
The Fall Leaf Salad has candied pecans, and the Roasted Rainbow Carrots and Mini Harvest Tarts have nuts. Metro's kitchen is not gluten-free or nut-free, so name any allergy when you order.
Build the meal on Metro's online portal or call (212) 268-2828. For next-day delivery, place and confirm the order by 3:00 PM the day before.
