Annual Thanksgiving Menu thread

[goldmom]

I have received a personal request to post a thread on my menu for tomorrow which I have done for a few years...
But before I start let me wish all of you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽 and safe journey if you are traveling to celebrate the day.

I started yesterday with baking a pumpkin pie and also whole spiced baked apples - I make everything the way my Mom did - no frozen pies here!
Turkey (I do not brine my turkey)
Cornbread/Sausage stuffing (not dressing)
Mashed potatoes - at least 5 - 7 lbs. worth
Fresh green beans (cooked with a little bacon)
Sweet potato casserole
Fresh cranberry orange relish
Stuffed celery
Individual side salads
One mashed rutabaga (in memory of my Daddy - it’s good drowned in gravy)
Homemade giblet gravy
Hot Rolls/butter
Pumpkin Pie
Pecan Pie
Ice cream
Baked Cinnamon Spice Apples
Rules:
Must be made in enough quantity for the most important part - leftovers. 💁‍♀️
1. Ham is only for Easter at my house.
2. Prime Rib or Beef Tenderloin is Christmas. With Yorkshire pudding 😋
3. Butter must be used in large quantities to make everything delicious.
Carb comas usually follow.

This reminds me of GrandPa Jones on Hee Haw! "Grandpa! Grandpa! What's for Supper?"
Thanks for sharing your culinary and fine dining tastes with us.
And don't forget the Cauuuulktail Sticks!

Nice spread! I got 2 requests for turnips out of gathering of 30 tomorrow. I'm scrambling.

Stuffed celery/olive tray
Rolls

We did one a few years ago for Christmas. It was pretty good .

All suggestions sound mouth-watering good. And to all Seminoles hosting a large gathering
of Thanksgiving guests with different points of view, a reminder to follow the great Phyllis Diller's advice:
Serve the meal. Clear the table. Bury the dead.

I am so thankful.....that my son's girlfriend likes to host and cook so all we have to do is show up with wine, beer, and dinner rolls. 👨‍🦳👩‍🦰🍽️🍻🍷

Damn. You and The Tradition should combine your efforts and invite all the rest of us sometime.

 

[BelemNole]

Turkey is in the brine. Pecan pie is in the oven.

Trad only thinks he can cook.

 

[goldmom]

Trad only thinks he can cook.

Well he can grill. Or he can spin a tall tale.

 

[GeddyLee09]

Ham and Turkey only because I like to cook the ham bone with cabbage and potatoes the next day. Stuffing, mash, corn and green bean casserole. Pretty standard. Oh yeah and cornbread.

That must have been special.

 

[DFSNOLE]

I committed the sin of gluttony yesterday. Forgive me, Lord.

 

[bcherod]

I made cornish game hen, and sausage and apple dressing. Corn pudding, wild rice, and apple pie for dessert.

 

[NoleLizards]

I committed the sin of gluttony yesterday. Forgive me, Lord.

Amen.

I did, as well...But not enough gluttony to prevent me from doing so with leftovers yet again today.

 

[goldmom]

Amen.

Me too. I figure I’ll ask for a lump(y)
Sum pardon by Sunday morning. 😳

Gluttony is Good!

First Thanksgiving I have had fried turkey. Never had it that way before. It was fine. I still think I would prefer turkey from the oven.

Our son in law likes fried turkey. It works out well since we're outside and not taking up oven space.

 

[GeddyLee09]

Well…the banana cream pie is gone. These ravenous hyenas in my house destroyed it before I was even able to make the second pot of coffee.

So at my house while I was outside minding the smoker and setting up the turkey fryer, all the kids and grandkids decided to eat two pies for breakfast. After we ate one of them asked what's for desert.
