Thanksgiving Menus

I'd like to make something other than turkey, so if people
post their menus, maybe I can get some different ideas. TIA

I'm making turkey, deep fried (first time!) and roasted. Both will have been
brined, free range.

I'm not making any special effort to cook low carb for my husband's family.
Only substitute will be xylitol for sugar, since there's no compromise in taste
or texture in baking.

We're having cornbread, sausage and apple stuffing, mashed turnips, candied
sweet potatoes and granny apples, green bean bundles wrapped in bacon, with a
soy, brown sugar, butter and worcestershire glaze, twice baked potatoes,
cranberry orange and crystallized ginger relish, (sliced canned cranberries for
Tom's family, ugh), pumpkin pie, apple torte and some other dessert.

Before hand, shrimp cocktail, baked brie drizzled with honey, served with
sliced apples and crackers, assorted other cheeses, nuts, warm clam dip en
croute...

This family can EAT.

Can I come? 🙂

And...damn, it sounds good. I've heard that deep fried turkey is very
good.

The steak sounds good, but I want something to go with it, so I'll try
the stuffing recipe that Jennifer posted.

LOL! We dine at 6, after gorging on assorted rich and rewarding munchies for
hours beforehand.

Are you in the neighborhood? (Which is Lawn Guyland, Noo Yawk.)

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE made with splenda.

Ah, yes...I am a little tired of the meat part anyway after 4+ years, so
the pumpkin cheesecake is definitely a "will have."

Oh, man, Susan... may I come down to your house? The meal I'm making
sounds so dull in comparison:

- roast turkey (brined if it's cold enough the night before to put it on
the screened porch in a bucket) with stuffing made with low-carb bread,
onions, celery, giblets, herbs, garlic, and fresh ginger root

- mashed Idaho potatoes

- squash seasoned with butter, maple syrup, and nutmeg

- steamed broccoli with lemon

- turkey gravy

- black and green olives

- homemade wholeberry cranberry sauce and cranberry/orange relish

- seltzer, sparkling cider, or milk (one person dining is 9)

- bought pecan pie provided by Mother, plus something I'll whip up --
probably an apple crisp and homemade French vanilla ice cream, though
possibly pumpkin custard and the same ice cream

- coffee/decaf/tea

I'm on Lawn Guyland too! LOL! By the Nassau/Suffolk border - think I can pop
in? ;o)
