The Thanksgiving Day Meal Plan Thread

Yes ... I start thinking about the meal in October. What is everybody planning to do for Thanksgiving Day dinner?

I'm doing a Turducken again, but still considering which sides I want to do.

Mashed sweet potatoes, stewed tomatoes, and green bean casserole are staples. I'd like to do shaved brussel sprouts with pancetta again, but I'm thinking I need to be more heart friendly this year.

My MIL will do her amazing Mincemeat, Pumpkin Chiffon, and Apple Caramel Pies.

That really sucks that you'll be eating twigs and gravel. I'll take those leftovers off your hands to remove all tempation.

We never waive from tradition, which is fine by me since I'm a big fan of it. Turkey, garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, turnips, pumpkin pie and apple pie with cheddar. And a Whopper with Cheese no mayo if my uncle from ME is in town (he can't eat turkey because of gout-just a strange tradition that got started because they were the only place open one year). We did fry it a couple years ago, just depends who's hosting.

I'd like to do a turducken one of these years, maybe this is a good one to start!

Yeah, you'll have to watch while everybody else eats all that stuff, Chad. There you'll be with your salad . . . .

Sorry, I couldn't resist that.

For some reason DJ isn’t really into Thanksgiving Day traditions.

Not big on the Fourth of July either, for some weird reason.

I always request baked pineapple casserole - and sometimes I get it. But only after I'm told it doesn't really go with turkey.

Our friends in Colorado got one of those, and one of their dinner guests got very upset because she thought they had cooked a pregnant turkey.

One of these days I'll have to try that. I never heard of turducken before getting on this forum.

Mistress, granted there are all different dessert and side dish recipes for this on the web. But I like the side dish one and will try to get you the "official" version that my family uses.
