Nothing says Thanksgiving like fried turkey. Yum!! 

Girlfriend is vegetarian so I eat enchiladas on Thanksgiving. Not a bad change after twenty some years of dry turkey.

I DO love the taste of a good burger

 

I am ok with ham if we're having a crowd and it is in ADDITION to turkey.  But the highlight for me is my stuffing....and I haven't figured out how to stuff a ham....so we ARE having turkey

To me, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners are all about the STUFFING!  

 

Oyster stuffing, sausage stuffing, regular stuffing...  it's all good!

Big turkey and a crown roast this year, with all the sides.  Then comes the apple pie and bourbon pumpkin pie.  Wine and champaign. 

Turkey and Pasta baby!!

Give me a place to lay down and leave me alone for an hour

We fry our birds!

i will take a Honey Baked ham over any turkey any time.

We do turkey on thanksgiving, and ham on Christmas. Swapping then would be a crime against humanity, and both on the same day might kill me.

Turkey-I eat enough ham throughout the year.

 

I'm looking forward to making stuffing with my sourdough bread, that and the yams make the meal.

Gotta have that Turkey and Gravy!!!

We'll have turkey and ham. If It were up to me we would have what I had growing up. Roasted (fresh) Stump Sound oysters, stone ground grits, fried cornbread, green beans, and sweet tea.

Every Downeaster I ever knew was from Maine!

 

Amtrak has a Downeaster, but I don't think it stops in NC...

Ham is great, but turkey is life.

My dad has been using the smoker recently, I will eat anything that has been in that awesome machine. Sometimes it can be dry, but still tastes great, and I can always put on some marinade to moisten it up.
