Cheap Thanksgiving Dinner In LA

My first year in LA I had Thanksgiving with some Witches or Wicans, I think. That wasn't so fun. Next year I was in Vegas at the Excalibur. That was more fun. And last year we threw a potluck of sorts at the infamous "D Street". Fun, fun, fun...

However, I was amazed at the lack of info. on the net for affordable, fun turkey dinners for us pseudo-boho-30-something-upper/lower class types (ie: people who still dress like they're 19, drive 12 year old foreign cars, and think Arcade Fire is cool). I might regret letting this gem out but I'd want someone to tell me so here goes:
