I live in Dallas and have started going out for Thanksgiving with family and friends each year. I'm not big on Turkey, so I look for places with other options, although most of the best restaurants that are open do still offer a special menu. Here are some options for this year:
Charlie Palmer at The Joule
Brunch is $55, Dinner is $75. Each is three courses. While turkey is offered at both, brunch also includes a Filet Oscar option and Dinner has Dry-Age Sirloin, Open Face Scallop & Short Rib Ravioli, Sauted Texas Quail, and Kurabota Pork Chop.
III Forks
The steakhouses offer a $42.95 Thanksgiving Meal with soup, salad, dessert, and your choice of Turkey or Chateaubriand.
Landmark Restaurant at the Warwick Melrose Hotel
They offer quite a "spread" each year for $55 including Turkey, Salmon, Pork Loin, Shrimp, Honey Glazed Ham, Roast Beef, and breakfast options.
Maggiano's
Like you said, they only offer a specific family-style menu on Thanksgiving with entree choices limited to Turkey, Ham, and Salmon (choose two for the table). However, they also include a pasta course with a wide variety of options from which you also get two, so that allows for more of a selection.
Craft Dallas at the W Hotel
