I've been doing the same old Thanksgiving recipes for a long time. Turkey, stuffing with chestnuts, mashed potatos, sweet potatos (sticky sweet like my husband likes it) and cranberry sauce.

Please share any of your favorite recipes! I'm looking for inspiration!
 
We only have 6 people usually so the mac cheese, though I'd like to do, we can't do. But man, it would be good. And honestly we've swtiched the veg around from broccoli to asparagus to beans. A good veg recipe would be great. I'm considering 7 layer salad.

Dessert has to be berry pie and cheesecake. There would be a riot if I changed that! LOL!
 
here is our traditional menu
turkey
dressing(cornbread)
mashed taters
asparagus
shuck beans
cranberry sauce
homemade mac & cheese
gravy
rolls
deviled eggs
ham
blueberry cheese cake
cherry cheesecake
pumpkin rolls
pumpkin pie
lemon pie

no green bean casserole cause my family doesnt like it. i normally fix a sweet potato casserole but dh desided he didnt want one this year but i love them
it is so simple to make.
 
TURKEY RECIPE

I thought this sounded good! Here is a turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing ingredient -- imagine that. When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when turkey is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out.
Give this a try.

Ingredients


1 - 15 lb. turkey
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is Good)
1 cup un-popped popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT IS BEST)
Salt/pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush turkey well with melted butter, salt,and pepper.
Fill cavity with stuffing and the un-popped popcorn. Place turkey in baking pan making sure the neck end is toward the front of the oven, not the back.
After about 4 hours listen for the popping sounds.


When the turkey's butt blows the oven door open and the bird flies across the room,.... it's done.

And, you thought I didn't know how to cook...

I'm a vegetarian (and a terrible cook) and my mom came up with the following tasty and easy recipe (although I don't have exact amounts, I eyeball and taste it throughout):

Stuffed Squash
You'll need some acorn or butternut or similar squash
Some stuffing of your choice
Vegetarian sausage
Onion
Celery
Veggie broth
Salt and pepper
Maple sugar if interested
Butter

Cut your squash in half and gut the seeds and stringies. Give the guts to the chickens.
Butter the flesh of your squash, then salt and pepper them to taste and add maple syrup here if interested. Poke them with a fork a few times.
Place them on tin foil and wrap them up so there's a little bit of air circulation at the top and bake fleshy side up at 350 for 20 to 40 minutes until they start to get soft.
In a saucepan combine some more butter, and some chopped up onion and celery to taste +/- salt and pepper. After cooking a few minutes I add the cut up veggie sausage. Once this mixture browns and softens a bit I add the broth and then finally the stuffing. Mix well.
Mound this stuffing in your squash holes, then wrap squash back up with tin foil and continue to cook on 350 until the squash is softened (pinch them to tell). Once that occurs I open the tin foil and brown the tops in the oven for a few minutes.
 
And we also make potato casserole (it really sounds quite disgusting when recipe'd out... it's fantastically yummy):

you'll need:
1 bag frozen hash browns (i use ore-ida southern style hash browns)
cream of x soup (where x is celery or chicken)
8 oz cream cheese
stick of butter
salt
large onion
corn flakes
and 1 more butter stick melted

in sauce pan combine: can of soup, cream cheese, stick of butter, salt to taste and the chopped up onion. Melt while stirring.
In a large bowl put your frozen hash browns. When the above is melted, throw it in the bowl and mix to cover the taters.
Spread this mixture in a large PAMed 9x11 or similar baking dish.
In a ziplock bag place 4 cups of corn flakes and smash them. In a small bowl put the crushed flakes and mix the melted butter in. Cover your taters with this evenly.
Bake about 45 minutes in 350 degrees.
