Thanksgiving Options

[creole]

What do you guys cook on Thanksgiving day? Any home recipes?
This year my fam's going to cook:

• Both types of turkey (dark & white)
• Green Bean casserole
• Oven baked mac & cheese
• Pumpkin, Apple, and Lime pie
• Roasted ham
• Mashed potatoes and gravy
• Sweet potatoes
• Stuffing

How long does it take for you to cook your feast? Do you keep leftovers?

Much of that list we cook as well. We don't cook mac and cheese though, there's already enough starch! Pumpkin pie for sure, but replace the apple and lime for lemon meringue and pecan pie (or chess, which I'm fairly new to). No ham (I don't eat red meat or pork). I love sweet potatoes. Has to be made with fresh sweet potatoes and not that canned stuff. I also make cranberry sauce, which is much better than the canned variety. I've recently purchased a potato ricer and really look forward to using it.

citrus brined & roasted turkey w/ herb butter, sweet potatoes w/brown sugar & pecans, green bean casserole, collard greens, potato salad, andouille cherry stuffing, and some other stuff i'm not sure of yet.

We get creative with stuffing too. Always use sage sausage (turkey sausage), cranberries, walnuts and sometimes apples (though my mom doesn't like apples in the stuffing). I prefer using whole wheat bread crumbs.

it's all about the gravy duhhh

In my experience, there's never such a thing as too much gravy.
