Noodles? Really? Were the majority of these Pilgrims Italian?

Not Italian noodles.

Homemade ones- with flour and egg yolk--maybe something else? They are more like a dough than a pasta. With a broth sauce and some meat (turkey, chicken or beef) Turkey for TDay.

Thanks Baroo! I now know what we are having for dinner tonight... I slow cooked a boneless turkey breast the other day and shredded it for over buns but we still have a ton left that I forgot to freeze in time... going to add some noodles and garlic for flavor to this and serve it over mashed potato's.

Yum, enjoy.

I made chicken, noodles and mashed potatoes yesterday and we are having leftovers tonight.

Like this.

They are homemade noodles in a turkey broth with some turkey meat --we still have the regulard roasted turkey. And you put them on mashed potatoes.

I am really just amazed and learned something new.

Maybe it is a Midwest thing? Everyone I know has noodles on thanksgiving.

We still have sweet potatoes, stuffing, cranberry stuff, greenbeans...

That is exactly like the chicken and noodles I was talking about, but never had it on Thanksgiving before. I love chicken and noodles this way on a cold day!!

ETA: I'm from Iowa. My grandma also makes the homemade egg noodles. I think it's a german thing. I like mine skinny too. They are seriously soooo good!

This has been an eyeopening thread Smile

I guess I just always thought the Thanksgiving dinner we have is what everyone pretty much has.

My whole town does pretty much the same menu---every year there are debates on if you put the noodles on or beside the potatoes. Similar to the over/under question, it is a pretty polarizing question Stick out tongue

But I think we can all agree that you HAVE to have pumpkin pie on TDay---and turkey.

Not for Thanksgiving dinner but my mom sometimes makes Turkey Tretezzini with the leftover turkey and it looks like your photo. I am also from the Midwest and never had it for dinner.

Definitely NEVER heard of anyone having noodles on Thanksgiving. Both my family and my husband's family are from the Midwest, no noodles.... Stuffing, it sounds like you are having noodles in place of stuffing??

daniellerm23 · October 2012

I'm in Minnesota and have never had noodles for Thanksgiving.

We do turkey, mashed potatos and gravey, buns, green bean casserole, and whatever else we feel like making that year...

Never had noodles either. We sometimes have a wild rice dish, I guess that would be the closest thing. Or maybe the stuffing is...

We do a turkey (we've actually been getting one of those turduckens for the last few years, delish!), a ham, some kind of potatoes, that disgusting green bean casserole with cream of mushroom and fried onions (for DH's sake), cranberry sauce, another vegetable dish, stuffing, and bread. I think that's it...

Anyone else do oyster dressing??

I don't do it every year, but I sure love it when I do!!

We do, but only my dad and uncle eat it.

We have turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, dressing, corn, cranberry stuff of some type, rolls, and pumpkin pie... Pretty much what everyone else is saying.

I live in the Midwest and I have never heard of this! and besides, I would call that 'pasta' not "noodles"!

I'm from Indiana originally and my dads side of the family always made a batch of beef and noodles for thanksgiving, so yes, I did have noodles at thanksgiving. I love noodles

Minnesota born and raised, now lived in Iowa for 3 years and have never ever heard of noodles with Thanksgiving dinner. I thought mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, rolls and stuffing were enough carbs! But they do look yummy

abbiejo98 · October 2012

Noodles? I've never heard of such a thing. We have a very traditional thanksgiving dinner (actually we have the same thing for christmas dinner too)

Turkey, mashed potatos, green beans, squash, stuffing, cranberry jelly, dinner rolls

dicer2 · October 2012

We have noodles! My mom makes them but gets lazy so she buys Haluski noodles premade. I wonder if it's an ethnic thing? We are in Pittsburgh with Slovak heritage.

dicer2 · October 2012

I just asked my friends and none of them have heard of noodles either! This is blowing my mind today, lol.

ni077169 · October 2012

We only do noodles at my MIL's or at her family dinner. When we do, I place noodles on the mashed potatoes. Otherwise, if I cook, it's just mashed potatoes and gravy. I could live without the noodles. Plus, they are a B**** to make, I don't have the patience for that crap.

Noodles? There's noodles involved in Thanksgiving? Are we talking macncheese noodle or straight up noodles? Color me confused.

I'll add to the chorus of "What!? Noodles!?"

Turkey, mashed potatoes, yams and/or sweet potatoes, a veggie of some sort my aunt usually makes green beans, a salad of some sort either lawn mower salad or some leafy green salad, cranberries of some sort, usually in jellomold form, but not always, biscuts and butter... and pie for dessert, usually many varities to choose from, with at least one pie of 3 being either pumpkin or pecan... I don't think I'm forgetting anything.

We've had thanksgiving at my grandparent's ever since I can remember... with home video of me a little over 1 there... and it's been pretty much standard every year. The same person is delegated the same thing: one aunt makes salad, one aunt makes veggie, my mom makes the pies... my grandma makes the turkey, potatoes, and yams, and cranberries.

My job has always been to make the gravy from the turkey drippings... random story, before marriage, my husband didn't know how to make gravy from scratch and thought I was a wizard in the kitchen because of this! Ha! I still chuckle over it...

My grandpa died a few years ago, so my dad has taken over the chicken carving. My mom was the only one married of the three girls, and there were no boys beside my grandpa, my dad, and my brother... and now my husband and my son as well.

I know it's long already, but ETA we handmake noodles for Christmas Eve dinner at my dad's parent's... I think it's either a Catholic or a Slovak thing, but no meat. We have soup, mushroom potato or cheese potato, noodles, either plain, with cottage cheese, or with poppyseeds, and perogi, either cheese, potato, apricot, poppyseed. All made the day before, as is family tradition for years and years. So we get our noodle fix then.

I've never had noodles on Thanksgiving. I've never had green bean casserole either.

We have turkey, ham, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, candied yams, rolls, corn, and stuffing.

I love the noodles!!! By themselves, on the turkey, over mashed potatoes, off the floor......

Ok, so you have noodles?

Where do you live?

I am thinking this might be a Midwest thing.

Iowa. My grandma makes them homemade every year.

Oh good.

My grandma makes them every year too.

I also have an elderly client that brings me homemade noodles all through the year. --she just called this morning knowing I am going on mat leave and will need some

I make beef or chicken an noodles all the time in the fall and winter.

Do you prefer the wide or skinny?

I like mine skinny.

They vary in width because she cuts them herself, but I guess I don't really have a preference. I like all of them

We do the same exact thing for Christmas Eve.
