“Vegan”: Old Indian word meaning poor hunter!

1. Never liked pumpkin pie. Peacans pie is definitely the way to go.
2. Doesn't matter how the bird is prepared what matters is if it's fresh or not. Last year I picked out a live bird from a farm and cooked it the next day... I would never go back to store bought or frozen bird again.
3. Champagne is for people who don't know how to spend their money. Beer all the way!

^That^ is just sad. Find a better cook 
The Spousal Unit's stuffing this year was fabulously rich - everyone loved it and there wasn't much left over...
Cheers!

Just picked up my annual half priced turkey. It’s becoming a tradition. Never do “friendsgiving” before the holiday.
Now to hunt down a cheap prime rib roast…

Totally agree. My mom makes great stuffing. Even though we give mom a break, and do thanksgiving at my bro’s place, mom is still required to do the stuffing and gravy; nobody does it better. My brother, who cooked the turkey, even transported the drippings and giblets across the county to mom early yesterday morning so she could cook it all up fresh. It was delicious.^That^ is just sad.

If you don’t like pumpkin pie, try a pumpkin rum cake. My wife did this since the pie option was already taken.
Yes. We no longer have turkey as well. We had family over on Sunday - Tuesday and celebrated with my now traditional homemade lasagna. Yesterday on Thanksgiving day proper, just my wife and I and I grilled rib-eyes. Still had stuffing though, my favorite part of traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

I want to start a thread for Christmas. I never cook turkey for Christmas dinner. Rib roast all the way. So much easier. Add a Caesar salad, some kind of potatoes, and cheesecake, and you're done.
Thanksgiving has to be turkey, though. Too tasty to pass up.

I disagree and add that your father smelt of elderberries.
I know I'll get ridiculed for what I made; meat pie (pork, beef and potato) plus a batch of sweet and sour green beans. Sure, maybe not traditional by most of the turkey loves out there . . . but I really don't care, it was great!
Eat (and drink) what you like. Let other people eat (and drink) what they like.
Where's the fun in that?

Yeah, that sucks.
Every minute spent scolding a Philistine is a minute not spent being a Epicurean.Where's the fun in that?
We do a smoked turkey, and one in the oven. Smoked > other.
I always make the bourbon pecan. Crust is made from pecans. I candy the ones on top with lots of orange zest to make it "florida style". That's a tart pan, so when I serve it the outside of the pan comes off and you can see the cool ridges all the way around.
In other news, @Clint Yeastwood is one ascerbic MFer and I like it.

We stopped doing "other" several years ago.

Well, thanks. Maybe people who like me are in the minority, but at least I can say I get the best ones.

Well...(gathers self) if one's stuffing is so pathetic that it actually makes sense to make waffles out of it, I say go forth and waffle! 
Cheers! (But..."maple gravy"?)

1. pumpkin pie can be outstanding, so you obviously have loser cooks for friends/family who need to up their game and produce a final result worthy of the ingredients they utilized. if, after further failed attempts they still cannot deliver - they need to consider Red Baron or Pizza Pizza as they more exquisite and delectable gourmet option
2. any turkey that isn't brined for a day and then smoked low-n-slo until almost done, then quickly seared to crisp up the skin and bring to finish temp is an injustice to the bird who's life was taken
3. Champagne is for those who like to waste money on New Year's Eve with their fake friends. the best accompaniment for turkey is Bourbon or an estate Petit Verdot barrel aged with a combo of new and old French Oak
Oh dang... shiz getting reals
I'll say, any sort of cranberry, whether out of the can (best) or the stuff with real berries in it, is awful.

If eating a traditional midwestern T-Giving meal of roasted turkey with mashed potatoes, gravy from drippings, stuffing made with Jimmy Dean sausage, homemade bread, cranberry jello and numerous bottles of wine is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
And leftover turkey sammiches.

Make some invert for your wife to use in that pie. It's a game changer

Wait, there’s rules about dark meat? What are they? I hope they don’t include equitable sharing.

1. Pumpkin cheesecake with a pecan crust.
2. We have plenty of 'I don't like turkey' people who come back for 2nd helpings and they keep raving about how good the chicken is.... secret is 3 days prior inject with melted, herbed butter, and put in a turkey bag. Take a whole pineapple, peeled and cored, a large onion, parsley and other herbs and add to food processor. Liquefy and pour into turkey bag. Flip morning and night. Drain off excess before cooking. Cook breast down. Never had it turn out dry. Peach pineapple salsa also works fabulous.
3. Bottle of my homemade sparkling D'Anjou Pear wine.
