So what's on everyone's T-giving menus?

[K Frame]

This will be the first year in a LONG time that I'm not preparing anything.

Seren and I are heading south to Castle Key's new crib to spend the holiday with them, so I'm taking a couple of bottles of vino.

This is also the first major holiday since I started my diet. Danger, Will Robinson!

The only thing I know for sure that's on the menu is smoked turkey, and possibly also deep fried turkey.

I'm deer hunting before the Fri-Sat storm, so probably granola bars.

[lupinus]

This is the first year in over a decade I won't by driving two hours to in laws. And damnit, I'm excited to actually be able to spend my holiday off doing whatever the heck I want.

So deer hunting in the morning. And I'm debating between staying home with family or heading over to some friends that invited me to their place for deep fried Bojangles bird.

We are going to my sister-in-law's house on Bainbridge Island. 32 people scheduled to attend and I was assigned to bring the green bean casserole.  Sweet.

[Fly320s]

... 32 people ... green bean casserole.

That's, like, 2 cans of beans.

What ever is on the menu at whatever casino we end up at. Making a speed run to Vegas this weekend (now) to start probate for my son and start cleaning out his house. :(

Thanks, I didn't post anything. He passed unexpectedly on Nov 5th.

Ah, damn. So sorry, Bob.

my daughter is hosting again this year.  I am bringing some fresh venison tenderloin medallions,  wrapped in bacon to put on their big green egg.  One turkey fried,  one in the oven.  Sweet potatoes whipped and served in orange shells.  Squash,  green bean and potato casseroles.  Anti Pasta and a mixed green salad.  My home made Honey roasted mixed nuts,  assorted cold cuts and cheeses,  and my baked garlic/feta/cream cheese dip.  My home made crackers.   An assortment of fresh fruit,  macerated in Grand Marnier.  A spiral cut ham.  My oyster dressing.  Cranberry sauce.  Gravy.   Pumpkin pies made from pumpkins off my son's farm.  Pecan Pies made with freshly harvested Georgia Pecans and pure cane syrup.  A carrot cake with cream cheese icing.  Just because.   :)      <burp>

[Larry Ashcraft]

The usual here, turkey, a ham, dressing and a huge bowl of mashed potatoes, home grown green beans and maybe home grown sweet corn.  Half of our family won't be here, but oldest daughter is coming with her family, plus a few friends, so maybe 12-14 people.  Jim and Tesla get home Friday night, so we had planned on grilling some t-bones (raised here) for Saturday, but the twins missed their birthday together this year, so they're having friends over for a sleepover on Saturday.  T-bones on Sunday.

And Bob, our sincere condolences.  I can't imagine losing a child.

I get to drive the “Visit all the Family Dinners 500” and eat a full plate at each

I bought a 13 lb Butterball frozen turkey a couple of days ago.  It's still frozen out in my car... I should probably bring it in. 

Going to roast that tomorrow morning w/o any stuffing.  Probably bake some sweet potatoes, and make a salad.  And open a can of cranberry sauce (I love that stuff.)  Wife bought a pumpkin pie at Costco. 

I want lots of leftover turkey, and no leftover anything else.  Friday or Saturday I will make a pot of turkey gumbo.  If I could have found cheap turkey legs, I would have just bought those and made the gumbo and skipped the roast turkey.

[Nick1911]

Smoking two turkeys.  I'll be doing them through the night, for a noon thanksgiving meal.  Special lady friend and I are handing off shifts at around 4am to tend the wood fired smoker.

At least I've got temperature monitoring enabled now.  Hooked up a Wemos D1 mini to a DS18B20.  Someone else had even written the code to make it work, I just had to tweak it a bit.

[Ben]

Same as every year. Turkey in the oven, German twist on stuffing, plum sauce and gravy, yams, some kind of green vegetable. I'll bake fresh bread Friday morning for the turkey sandwiches.

[Scout26]

Headed to Peoria.  They are cooking a turkey in the oven, and frying one in peanut oil.   Never had a fried Turkey before.   The usual (and perhaps unusual sides).

I bringing radishes, various pickles, various olives, and habinaro carrots sticks for a relish tray.   (I had to google what it was when I was instructed to bring it.

[charby]

and frying one in peanut oil.   Never had a fried Turkey before.   

You'll never want to roast a turkey ever again.

[Perd Hapley]

Apple pie is on the menu. Nothing else signifies.

[lupinus]

Fried turkey is your friend.

Mom did the sides and such. Taters, stuffing, potato salad, some veggies, etc.

Mom, thankfully, left turkey duty to me. Her and turkeys do not have a good relationship. Seriously. It's scary when she gets ahold of poultry.

Nothing to crazy for the bird. Rubbed softened butter under the skin, seasoned, roasted. Drippings were used for gravy.

First dinner: fried turkey, baked ham, meatballs, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, dressing, corn, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, sweet potato casserole. Banana pudding, apple pie, chocolate cake, cookies, pecan pie, strawberry cake

Second dinner, two hours later: brisket, pimento cheese, Mac and cheese, pumpkin pie cheesecake, chocolate dump cake

I’m not sure I’m going to live through the night

[RoadKingLarry]

We went to my sister in law's house. Only had to endure the in-laws I like.
Plenty of good, traditional Thanksgiving day food.
There was no pecan pie
Several political discussions occurred but since we're all pretty solidly a conservative bunch the only real disagreements were about how much jail time Hillary should get.
