Who is NOT eating turkey on Thanksgiving?

turkey and a ham

I wrote about the smoker we use...
Sometimes I will get a small fat-laden ham to put at the tip top of the smoker-above another meat item, so the fat and juices from the ham can drip down on the meat of the other critter carcass as they cook...

no turkey here. not a big fan of it..

That's un-American! Are you one of those commie rat bastards?

I wonder if Vegans fashion tofu into turkey shapes and cook them up?

This year, will be low key, my Pop's in the hospital
he just had open heart surgery, quadruple bypass
& a heart valve repair, last Friday am

but;
We usually mix it up

we've done lobster a few times
we've done crab a few years
we've done ravioli a few years (my aunt makes the best)
we've done ham many, many years
along with a turkey, you have to have a turkey of some sort
It's Turkey day after-all,
the sides or other main dish, depends on my mood
or who's all coming to Thanksgiving

I still have 4 (3 now) sisters, 4 girls (3) daughters (1 is my niece)
2 boys (1 is my nephew)
family is sort of spread out now, in-laws to share with etc.
pretty much the same way at Christmas, now too

I always do a sausage & mint stuffing,
cooked on the stove top then baked, for crispness
also a traditional stuffing my mom used to make
it's oyster stuffing, crackers mix & bread in a pan
either of them with either beagles toasted & shredded
or with sourdough toasted & diced
sometime one of the girls will do a cornbread giblets stuffing too
usually do some sort of stuffing in the turkey too, one or other
they are all baked
I do love the dressings

Sweet potatoes sliced with pineapple & onions

sometimes Au gratin potatoes, extra cheesy
with a chili spice on top

I usually do some sort of roasted peppers too
depends on the crowd or size

Mash potatoes & a couple of gravy's, from what ever meats renderings

a green bean casserole, lots of mushrooms, mushroom soup
topped with homemade, shredded fried onions & bacon

lemon meringue (spell ?) pie, my oldest sisters specialty
pumpkin pie (not a big fan of it)
Cherry or peach cobbler (usually have to use canned)
ambrosia (IIRC it's called) 'Jellow mold' of some sort
Thanksgiving themed of course, I like the lime flavored

Biscuits &/or sweet cornbread

Damn my mouths watering thinking about it
I'm gonna' miss it this year, probably Christmas too

Happy Thanksgiving to all

We do something a little different in the West household - we like Cornish Game hens with agrautin potatoes and asparagus. They’re obviously small so we each have our own. Don’t really cook it any special way. I just bake them in stand up contraptions with a simple salt and pepper rub. Delicious little things and you don’t over eat. Christmas is the big holiday with the family in Minneapolis - that’s where we do the whole turkey and stuffing thing.

Want to have a little fun with a Cornish Hen?

That’s some funny stuff there Kid! LMAO! Never thought of pulling that stunt - but will be in the back pocket from now on.

Um..yeah...
I guess she must be great in the sack, because she is as vacuous between her ears as the now hollowed out turkey...
She thought that was a "baby turkey" and their big turkey "must be a female".....
I guess she is unfamiliar with the concept of the egg?

“Place a cut lemon under the skin of the turkey before roasting. Lighten up the mood at your Thanksgiving meal!”​

I wonder if Vegans fashion tofu into turkey shapes and cook them up?

Some do! I know one who has. It looked similar to this effort:

The wife makes turkey, but I'm not a big fan either. I take a bit for tradition's sake. I made a prime rib roast, spit roasted on the grill.
We had 14 people over. There was a lot of turkey left over, not too much meat though !!!!!

Working. Lucrative.

The wife is a Nurse and works the night shift - all the rest of the family is spread around the country with the home base in Minneapolis. We all gather there for Christmas. Thanksgiving is usually a solo holiday for me because of the above. So no turkey here - I'm going to cook a Cornish Gamehen and eggplant - and watch lots of football.

Still so much to be thankful for. I hope everyone stays safe and enjoys the holiday.

Christmas in Minneapolis? I send Linda back East for Christmas to see the (kids). I stay in California.
