Thanksgiving Meal

[wacocowboy]

With Thanksgiving next week I was curious how do most people cook their Turkey? I love it fried and smoked is good too but don't care for that crap that comes out of the oven.

What sides do you like? I love the green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, and deviled eggs. Not a fan of stuffing, cranberry, or that gravy.

Got to love those good yeast rolls with butter and honey.

What is the best pie to finish it off? Pecan, coconut cream, banana cream, key lime, butterscotch, buttermilk or lemon meringue are my favorite but I will eat sweet potato or pumpkin pie with whip cream.

My grandma makes me my own tray of stuffing. Love that stuff. As for pie, I go with chocolate or coconut

Great minds think alike you forgot the armadillo eggs along with the stuffed jalapeños, that might be a Texas thing.

Do they grow enough turkeys for every family to get one?

A green bean casserole is kind of a family tradition here. Having left over turkey stuffing with gravy the next day is
one of the best things ever, and anyone that has ever served dressing with raisins in it needs to be flogged.

Worthington, Mn is called the Turkey Capital of the world and Minnesota is known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes
(and 45 million turkeys) ranks #1 in the nation in turkey production and processing.

Hormel reported Jennie-O Turkey its' most profitable division with an operating profit of over $4 per bird.

No doubt, whats armadillo eggs ?? Just looked it up,, sounds like some good eating...

Not big on store bought turkey, rather have ham or a smoked venison ham. This year we're having smoked prime rib of beef. Sweet tater casserole with melted marshmallows on top is the vegetable of choice here. Dessert is what makes Thanksgiving for me, a Kahlua chocolate chip pudding cake is #1, and pumpkin pie a close second.

My wife cooks a amazing turkey. Usually two big ones. Also the stuffing with fresh gulf oyster's is a family tradition.

As a youngster I lived just West of Worthington, and went to school there. They had an annual turkey parade. Farmers had hundreds of birds that they somehow got to go down the streets. As youngsters would, we got pea shooters and would do everything we could to get the birds to revolt!

Last time I was there I never saw the billboard outside of town notifying they were the turkey capital, so I thought maybe someplace outdid them.

Turkey is not served here as the wife's chicken and dressing remains number one. We will also serve ham. Funny, but faux mashed potatoes are requested by more than half this year and the rest is whatever people bring in.

 

[Txpiney]

All of the above, except I've also got to have a big pot of mustard greens with ham hocks.mmmmm good

One deep fried turkey... one conventional turkey... All the fixen's (love me some giblet gravy)!! And we always have my wife's homemade Banana Pudding (still warm from the oven)!

 

[Bigfoot]

Not much on an old dry turkey. We usually have roast, and country ham. Dressing looked forward to however.

love banana pudding hot or cold,,even in between... Grandma use to put pineapples in it too ,at times... Love fruit salad too with pecans...

 

[Craig Miller]

We don't make turkey anymore. Nobody really likes it and once we realized they were just eating it for tradition we went to just making a ham. Dressing for sure. Whatever else is there will be fine. My wife makes a good pumpkin pie cheesecake I look forward to every year.

 

[NEFarmwife]

We brine the turkey (Alton Browns Brine) for about 12 hours and then throw her on the smoker. It turns out so yummy whether you cook it in the oven or smoke it but we love our smoker.

Pecan Pie, green bean casserole, REAL Cranberry sauce, a cornbread corn casserole, 10 containers of coolwhip (7 for pre-gaming, ha!), and deviled eggs (jalapeno)

I really don't know.

I've been in Little Rock now for a week and most likely will be putting my twin brother into hospice care in the next 24 hrs. It's been a long fight, and he's tired, really tired.
