What's on your Thanksgiving Day Menu?

Oysters en brochette
Fried Turkey
Dinner rolls
Root beer glazed ham
Mashed potatoes

Sounds pretty good.

We're doing Thanksgiving with 8 friends this year. Usually would go back home out west but a bunch of family members tested positive and are still quarantining, so not much point. We can schedule a food bash anytime in the future.

Fried Turkey (turkey is trash, I'll eat it but the greatest holiday and we chose turkey as the meat?)
Honey Ham
Mashed Potatoes
Cheesy Potatoes
Oyster and regular stuffing

We're all mid 20s, request was made for everyone to make at least one dish. I'm slightly terrified.

What's on your Thanksgiving Day Menu?

whatever will be in that styrofoam box that st vincent de paul gives out at the river center.

In years past I had as many as 25+ people show up at my house on T-Day for the meal and a big get-together and the menu was usually as follows:

Gumbo with rice
Giblet Gravy
Baked Mac & Cheese
Sweet Potato Casserole
Green Bean Casserole
Cornbread Dressing
3-4 Fried Turkeys
Stuffed Mirliton
Assorted Pies and cookies
Beer/Wine/Spirits/Juice/Sodas/Bottled Water

This year it's only going to 3 of us at most and I'm frying 1 turkey, making a small pan of Mac & Cheese with Giblet Gravy and an Eggplant/shrimp/cheese casserole.

Of course the above drinks will be on hand, just not as much.

We do Thanksgiving with my SO’s family in New Orleans. They know I love to cook and I always go overboard and show up with more each year.

This year I’m doing -

Twice baked potato casserole
Sweet potato casserole with candied pecan topping
Creamed corn and sausage pudding
Bacon spinach dip
Rocky and Carlos style mac and cheese

Also picking up from a friend’s bakery -

Pumpkin pie
Buttermilk pie
Lemon bars

They’ll likely have broccoli and cheese, the Turkey and the pork roast, shrimp mirlinton casserole, beef stuffed sweet peppers, carrot soufflé.

Turkey Day for 13. One of which will be a to-go plate since he's 92 with respiratory issues.

Smoked brined turkey.
Smoked lamb with garlic confit, sauce vierge, and pomegranate syrup
Mashed taters
Stuffing
Mac and Cheese (brought)
Green bean casserole (brought)
Homemade cranberry sauce
Deviled eggs
Relish plate
Apple pie
Bread pudding

Glazed ham
Broccoli-cheese-rice casserole
Pork dressing
Collard greens
Deviled eggs
Dinner rolls
Pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream
Red wine/vodka/spiked eggnog

Just the two of us so we'll be looking at plenty of leftovers

I'll be doing:
Fried turkey
homemade bacon mac and cheese

Wife is baking:
