What's Cooking for Turkey Day?

What on the menu at your house for T-Day (if it's at your house), or what are you bringing to wherever you're dining?

Re: What's Cooking for Turkey Day?

  • My menu (I'm cohosting so I'm doing food, DH's cousin is doing app's and drinks)

    Dinner: 

    • Cider-brined roast turkey with cider glaze
    • Gravy
    • Cranberry Apple Chutney and canned jellied cranberry sauce (DH can't be without) 
    • Spinach salad with apples, craisins, feta and pecans with cranberry-orange viniagrette 
    • Mushroom, sage, and onion cornbread stuffing
    • Sweet stuffing with apples, cranberries, and pecans
    • Mashed potatos
    • Sweet potato bake with cinnamon crunch topping
    • Parmesan roasted butternut squash
    • Roasted Garlic Green Beans with bell peppers and slivered almonds
    • Traditional white dinner rolls and Garlic knot rolls

     Dessert:

    • Caramel Apple Cheesecake
    • Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie
    • Traditional Pumpkin Pie
  • Thanks for making me hungry. I'm not making anything, just showing up and eating. But now I feel a little guilty about that...

  • Here's what I'm cooking:

    Cider Brined Turkey

    Gravy

    Mashed Potatoes

    Stuffing

    Sweet Potatoe Casserole

    Cranberry-Orange Chutney

    Green Bean Casserole

    Spinach Salad

    Rolls

    Deviled Eggs

    Pecan Pie x 2

    Pumpkin Pie x 2

    Cranberry Cheesecake

    We're also having a ham, a few other appy's, and a few other desserts, but I'm not doing those myself.

    (Can I just say that I hate how TN automatically double-spaces things when you hit "enter". Annoying.)

  • I'm also showing up and eating. I don't really care for my parents' food, but I can't complain. 

    turkey

    soggy stuffing

    gross mashed potatoes

    gravy

    canned cranberry sauce (love!)

    rolls?

    yams 

    my gram's pies (love!)

  • Pssht, well thanks for making me pale in comparison, guys.  But there will only be 5 of us and I'm a vegetarian, so here goes:

    Stuffed mushrooms and cheese plate to start

    Turkey will be BBQed (not by me)

    Green bean and wild mushroom casserole

    Macaroni and cheese

    Mashed potatoes

    Maybe a green salad if I'm feeling the lack of fresh vegetables.

    Homemade bread

    Stuffing (my cousin is making this)

    And for dessert, pumpkin cheesecake by me and pumpkin pie by my cousin, with delicious locally-made ice cream I got at the farmer's market yesterday.  Nutmeg!  It is so good.

    And with that, I'm bronze!!!

  • Lark, I'd rather come to your dinner than my parents'. No green bean casserole at mine! :(  And I looooove pumpkin cheesecake.

  • Thanks, Mamie!  You're totally welcome!  Shall I put you down for two?  I think we're probably eating around 4, our time, which is like 7 your time so you should have plenty of time to get here!
  • Yep, sounds about right. If we drive, I guess I should leave now-ish. :)
