What's your menu for Turkey Day.....

if you are cooking.
Do you use some "old family" recipes, follow tradition, or just wing it?
Love to hear if you do something different.

Be like a postage stamp.

Pretty traditional here, at least, traditional for this family.
Turkey, gravy, stuffing...
Cranberry orange relish, and whole cranberry sauce.
Be like a postage stamp. Stick to it until you get there.

I'm planning this low cal turkey for next year:
Roast turkey w/ gravy (not sure exactly how I'm going to make the bird yet -- probably the same way I do a chicken, with a spice rub on the outside and onions stuffed in the cavity).
Herb stuffing
Homemade cranberry sauce
Buttermilk biscuits
Mashed potatoes
Canned corn
Green bean casserole
Sweet potatoes
Pumpkin pie
Angel food cake & fruit
Lots of wine :)
Unfortunately, after five days in the fridge my turkery is still pretty frozen, so it looks like I'll have to try keeping it in a sink of cold water all afternoon today to get it thawed out....

Looks like it will just be the five of us which everyone is finding a little weird but a nice dinner planned:
Artichoke spinach dip
Pizza bubble bread-a family tradition since DS made it in his 8th grade Home Economics class
Antipasto-a family tradition passed on from my il's. A holiday dinner isn't the same without it
Roast Turkey w/gravy
Spiral Ham for my anti turkey DS
Sausage stuffing
Mashed potatoes
String beans with mustard vinegrette-the only vegetable dish the whole family agrees on
Jello salad-have to make that for the kids in my kids
Cranberry muffin cups-a salad made in muffin tins with cranberry sauce, jello, diced apple and crushed pineapple
Homemade applesauce
Crescent rolls-another family favorite
Apple pie
Pumpkin pie-made from the pumpkin itself (and one for the neighbor next door!)
Chocolate birthday cake to celebrate her 29th.

Your descriptions of the food make it sound so much better than what wrote.
