Whatchall cooking for Thanksgiving this year???

I have no clue! Need to sit down and think about it. Made a lentil loaf last year that was pretty good.

I'm cooking a small turkey on my Showtime Rotisserie. Seriously. They really turn out juicy and great that way.

Only thing is, you have to make gravy without much drippins. That's why I use this gravy recipe:

Tasso Gravy

3 Tbs vegetable oil
4 chicken gizzards
1/3 cup minced green bell peppers
1/2 cup ground beef
3/4 cup ground pork tasso
4 cup water
14 oz chicken broth
14 oz beef broth
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 Tbs flour
1 1/3 Tbs milk
1 1/3 Tbs distilled white vinegar
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes

1. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Saute chicken gizzard in the oil for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked. Remove gizzards from the pan and finely mince.

2. Add bell pepper to the saucepan and saute it for 1 minute. Add the ground beef and ground tasso to the pan and cook it until it's brown. Use a potato masher to smash meat into tiny pieces as it browns.

3. Add water and beef broth to the pan. Immediately whisk in cornstarch and flour. Add remaining ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gravy for 30 to 35 minutes or until thick.

Yield: 6 cups

Steamed clams
Lobster
Boiled corn
Boiled potatoes
Blueberry pie

@ my sister's house this year. They are providing the turkey. We will probably bring corn maque choux and maybe some fresh cranberries cooked in red wine.

How about this:

We do a cochon de lait every year for thanksgiving, never fried it though.

Trying a new recipe this year, oyster madeleine.

Always make spinach madelenie for the holidays so Im going to try and work this into the rotation.

Saw the recipe in Garden and Gun.
