whats your thanksgiving menu

I am a low-carber and so is the rest of the family (mainly because they are too lazy to cook for themselves )

My menu is baked turkey with sausage stuffing

A big green salad with olive oil and balsamic dressing, a cheese and olive platter, and veggies with dip.

 

Mine is fairly simple compared to the 'family' dinners I used to go to in Indiana!

1 10-12 pound turkey
stuffing (don't know how much)
mashed potatoes with gravy
broccoli/cauliflower medley
corn
brown-n-serve rolls
pumpkin pie
cheesecake
apple pie (maybe)
peach cobbler (maybe?)

probably something my 4 year old will eat as well! Picky eaters, don't ya just LOVE them?

 

we have dinner at grams, turkey, usually one bought one shot but we havent got the one shot yet. Sweet potatoes, fresh frozen corn, mashed potatoes, stuffing in the bird and in a bowl, pickled red beets. I ordered a Cherry pie and a pecan pie from a local farm market. I had a piece of their cherry pie a couple months ago...to die for. I cant wait.

 

Green Garden Salad
Pistachio/marshmallow salad
Turkey
Stuffing! (We always stuff the turkey)
Mashed potatoes (Yukon golds) and gravy
Candied Yams

Pumpkin Pie w/ Vanilla Icecream

This year I will eat very little of the above.

Trying to shed some pounds.

 

Wish we had thanksgiving here.

 

This is both of our family's biggest gettogethers.
Thursday - Jeff's extended family of 50+ will eat at the Western Steer, as his parents are approaching 90 and in an attended care home near there.

My family of about 30 will all be here on Saturday:

14lb fresh turkey - deep fried by my brother
20lb of barbecued beef ribs (freshly butchered )
a shrimp ring
twice baked potatoes
corn pudding
green beans
nappa salad
cucumber salad
smoked trout dip and crackers
assorted desserts that everyone brings

no nut products, as our grandson is extremely allergic.

as you can see, we don't skimp on the calories at this time of year!

 

Turkey
Honey Glazed Ham
Chicken & Dressing
Gibblet Gravy
Cranberry Sauce
Green Beans
Creamed Corn
Sweet Potato Souffle (sp?)
Fried Okra
Collard Greens
Yeast Rolls
Pear Salad
Pecan Pie
Pumpkin Pie

We keep it pretty simple as most of us just want turkey, dressing, gravy, and cranberry sauce with more dressing for dessert!
Our menu was finally set yesterday:

Cheese and Crackers
Wine and Beer

Turkey - cooked on the grill by BIL, with a whole bottle of white wine
