What is your regular thanksgiving dinner??

[Nugget]

Canadian thanksgiving was a few weeks ago. I had tofurkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, stuffing, carrots and warm pumpkin pie! I'm a vegetarian, my chickens never have to worry haha

And in case you're wondering, yeah, it's good!

Conny3malies, what is potato balls?

We have turkey and ham (because dh hates turkey, I fed him two months of leftover turkey sandwiches because we were broke and he told me he will never eat it again), mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, olivies and pickles, gravy, rolls, pumpkin pie, pecan pie and Grandma Dolly pie.

Oh, I am hungry!

We like to stuff our turkey with popcorn.

You can tell when the bird is done when the butt blows out.

My house is the Thanksgiving Day Dinner house (we all have our own holidays, thankfully we all live fairly close). I always buy a 22 to 24 lb fresh turkey and fill it with sausage stuffing (a recipe I got from Julia Child years ago), homemade cranberry sauce (another JC favorite), Pommes Anna (from Martha Stewart's first Thanskgiving special, it's squash, potatoes and apples with clarified butter and fresh thyme, absolutely delish!), something green (I usually grow my own brussel sprouts but this year I didn't, so I'll have to find something else), and whatever anyone else in the family wants to contribute. This year it's going to be smaller, though, because my husband is having surgery tomorrow and we have to see how things go from there.

Oh yea, and White Chocolate Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake for dessert. Got that recipe from Good Housekeeping back in the early 90's and it's a family staple now!
