I'm settin here thinkin of thanksgiving this year, and was wondering, whats your favorite dish? I'm also digging for ideas to change up dinner a lil this year :)

My fav would have to be green stuff (aka pistachio salad)

All American....Turkey and all the good stuff that goes with it.

mmmm turkey ... dressing ... mashed potatoes with gravy ... sweet potatoes ... green beans ... homemade rolls... then some punkin pie with whip cream ... mmm yummy ... darnit! now Im hungry! thanks Josh! :P

I already had thanksgiving! It was rather tasty!

oh gotta have turkey, n gravy, n taters mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

my fav is the dressing! But the baked oysters are awsome too! Love the turkey and dressing and cranberry sauce sandwiches the days after too!!

A nice plate full of perogies always hits the spot.

mashed taters with home made noodels and gravy and also cranberry salad

mashed taters and macaroni & cheese.. made with REAL cheese.. Velveeta!

Gooseberry Pie. Its my absolute favorite. My Grandmother made the best Gooseberry pie. Everytime I see one, I remember Thanksgiving with her and Grandpa.

If you haven't had one, slap your mother :)

gotta be the pumpkin pie n whipped cream.

Turkey - Deep Fried :metal:

turkey sandwich with cranberry jelly day after thanksgiving wear sweats pants to allow expansion

I think i want to go to LUVS,you cant beat it deep fried,

Turkey, and sweet potatoes, stuff'n, cran sauce, lemon merang Pie..

But since i work that night, not sure, I will prob have a processed turkey meat samich, on sour dough bread, with lettuse, cheese, mayo stuff, and some tater chips and a soda (YUM)

My mother-in-laws homemade rolls. I can make a meal just out of them. Don't care what else there is, as long as there are the rolls. :D

I'll be home alone for Thanksgiving this year, for the first time in 25 years, so I'm planning on cooking myself a never-frozen free range turkey, some sweet potatoes, real mashed potatoes (with half and half as opposed to 2%), and I'm going to attempt to bake a sweet potato pie if I can find any sweet potatos. If I can't find any, I suppose I'll try to bake a pumpkin pie (next best thing). I had thoughts of smoking the turkey, but I'm a novice at smoking meats, I don't wanna foul up (nice pun huh?) a good turkey.

Traditional - turkey (fallin' off the bone tender), stuffing, mashed potatos, gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls, corn, pumpkin pie.......

All the trimmings - don't care about the turkey .
This year we will be at my Mother-in-law's and the next day will be her 80th B'day . She is cajun , so there will be some boudin and gumbo . I gaurantee !

Smoked turkey WITH the stuffing inside(also smoked). Ever had smoked stuffing?
Sooo good. Dangerous? I've cooked it this way for many years. Just gotta make sure the initial hour or so is a bit hotter :metal:

TURKEY marinated in citrus and beer brine solution for 48hours cooked outside on the bar-b-que with hickory chunks and kingsford

MASHED POTATOES with bacon diced onions heavy cream and cheese

CARNNBERRY SAUSE with whole berries

STUFFING apple raisen and sausage

DEVILED EGGS stuffed with lump crabmeat

a real test of timing putting it on the table after being at the carshow all weekend

Turkey - Deep Fried :metal:
Same here. Probably have one smoked, and one deep fried.

Appetizers-
Deviled eggs, raw dressing, glazed pecans, sugar cookies

Meal-
Turkey with dressing, mashed taters, corn, yams, cranberry sauce, rolls

Drinks-iced tea, or cold milk.

Desert-
Pies- chocolate, pumpkin, lemon marange, coconut
Cookies- Sugar, oatmeal, chocolate chip

That's all the normal stuff. If Aunts or cousins drop by they will bring something too....:metal:

Another vote for smoked turkey..

One year the stove was on the fritz so we had T-Bones on the grill and nuked veggies. Pretty good. Another year all of the kids were doing their own thing on thanksgiving day so Jeanne and I had Ribeyes on the grill baked potatos and veggies. A nice change. Later that weekend we had traditional dinner.

my all time favorite is my great grandmothers homemade potato rolls

Potato Salad
Waldorf Salad
Moist Stuffing with turkey parts in it

A bag of ice on the chesnuts so to speak, I am having some "elective" surgery the day before.... OUCH,

Note to self: NEVER EVER eat at Phlegm's house.

i like turkey that isn't as dry as jerky so instead of stuffing it with bread i use bell peppers onions and sometimes sliced apples and oranges the fruits and veggies cook into the turkey and it retains moisture

Note to self: NEVER EVER eat at Phlegm's house.


ROFL, I needed that.

Note to self: NEVER EVER eat at Phlegm's house.
I can't imagine having a nut fry on Thanksgiving Day! :lol:

So far, no one has mentioned suet pudding.

Homemade Chicken N Noodles and some Sweet Rolls...MMM MMM GOOD

So far, no one has mentioned suet pudding.

Turkey with sweet potato casserole(with pecans brown sugar and butter topping) and pecan pie with chocolate chip and pecan topping.

:agree: What Time?

Raw Apple Cake (http://www.lanierbb.com/recipes/data/949.html) is the best:D

Man my mother in law makes the best Turkey. We get everything ready and she times the Turkey to make it the last thing done. FRESH!!! Mashed Potato's and some fresh rolls!!! Damn Im fat!!

Store-bought turkey these days seems to be almost a non-food item. The taste and texture just ain't what it used to be. Mom cooks meatballs & spaghetti from the old family recipe every Thanksgiving & Christmas, and the whole family much prefers it.

I usually miss Thanksgiving dinner as that is the day we travel home from Hershey PA after the swap meet. So to make up for it my mom has it the next day and my mother-in-law has it a couple of weeks later so it is all good. It is nice having Thanksgiving in early October up here that way it spaces it out so that you don't go into Turkey overload by Christmas. :canada:

I look forward to having ,Turkey Dark meat , Baked sweet potato with Butter and cinnamon , string bean's cassarol and Stuffing with gravy.

deep fried turkey, yams with marshmallows on top, green bean casarole, deviled eggs, mashed potatoes and gravy, and homemade rolls, with butter goo cake for desert

my family is having mexican food

I dunno yet...My mother-in-law has not told us yet. As long as she does her rolls, I don't care about anything else! :D

I will be frying my first turkey this year, and unfortunatley all 40 family members will be at my house.:crazy: :whine:

gotta be the pumpkin pie n whipped cream.
