Thanksgiving Food Pole

edited November 2014 in October 2014 Moms
What's your favorite thanksgiving food? Note: I've limited the selection to the "standard" items (and it maxes out at 10 options), and did not include dessert because, come on, dessert FTW! I also don't want to start an epic pie vs. cake debate - we can save that for another day. :)

  • Cranberry sauce. With while berries in it. From a can. Sweet potatoes with marshmallows is a close second.
  • Sweet potatoes! With the mallows please :)

  • This is one of those times when living in Ukraine with a Canadian husband blows. I want it all, but won't get any of it unless I make it myself! This has inspired me to at least make stuffing and potatoes au gratin though! Turkey I can live without.

    This was the toughest poll decision ever!

    Agreed. I voted potatoes au gratin, but gravy, mac n cheese, and meat (be it turkey or ham) are way up the list, too.

  • I love turkey! Can't believe I'm one of two that voted for it! Dark meat, a heritage breed, dry brine, herbed butter, roasted breast side down!

  • Mmm mmmm mmmm . This talk makes me so hungry ! Maybe we should have a favorite TG recipe thread too? Not family secrets of course but the best non- confidential recipe you used for a TG dish?

    Sweet potatoes  :-&

    Get out! :-h

    I don't like the sweet potatoes with marshmallows but I made mashed sweet potatoes last year and they were delicious!

    I am so hungry now thanks to this thread! I love all the food! I make a cranberry dish that has pretzel, cream cheese and sugar crust. Absolutely amazing!!!
  • Stove Top stuffing!
  • I can get any of this any time of year, except the cranberry sauce. It's the one thing that is a Thanksgiving exclusive food for me.
  • All the sides! Although I'll be missing DH's mushroom stuffing this year. It takes him FOREVER to make it so he's not doing it this year bc of the newborn we have kicking around. It's a Bobby Flay recipe and I thought it sounded gross when he first made it a few years ago but it's awesome!!

  • I went with mashed potatoes but almost said biscuits. However pillsbury crescent rolls are my actual favorite

  • My moms stuffing - mostly made out of bread.

    Omg I am so hungry.

  • Give me all of the stuffing! My grandma had a fantastic recipe that we always have every year. Think bread cubes, hamburger, all of the perfect stuffing spices, celery, walnuts and baked to toasted perfection and then you know heap it on your plate and cover with turkey and gravy.

    I'm hungry now.
    We are so excited to grow our family!

  • Turkey. My mom makes a super unhealthy southern Thanksgiving dinner and it is amazing. I think last year there were 3 sticks of butter along with chicken stock injected into the turkey.

    Also, she makes fried squash and fried okra. YUM.
  • Gravy and mashed potatoes and all the biscuit..
  • I voted vegetable side because I love greenbean casserole and Thanksgiving is about the only time I get it.
  • Our family has a great green bean casserole recipe. Sounds weird, but once you try it you'll never turn back. Instead of fried onions, our recipe calls for French cut green beans, cream of mushroom soup, sliced water chestnuts, and old English cheddar. :D

  • I voted cranberry sauce homemade bc I usually only make it for thanksgiving and Christmas. Mashed potatoes are my favorite food ever, but I eat them all the time.

  • I thought my vote would be unpopular, but stuffing for the win!we have two kinds, traditional and oyster stuffing.

  • Green bean casserole. My aunt makes me my own portion since I eat so much of it every year.

    This! And all the food! Chocolate pecan pie

    Homemade stuffing, cooked outside of the bird, but the super traditional celery/onions/sage style. We missed out on thanksgiving dinner thanks to labour, so we're going to do a redo dinner soon since we still have the ham we bought.

    I'm interested in this chorizo sage stuffing @MrsCunningham22‌ ....any chance you'd share the recipe?
