DH made Thanksgiving dinner and did make a turkey. Turns out the fur babies totally, and most demonstrably, relished their turkey, LOL.

I have never eaten pheasant. Enjoy!

Turkey here but your dinner choice sounds interesting.I have never even seen one in the store around here.

It's just the two of us, plus our puppy. A turkey is too big for us, so SurfDaddy is grilling steak instead.

Filet and crab cakes. Yum! Daughter and fiance going to his parents tonight for a turkey dinner so I didn't what to have to make them eat it twice. I'll cook my turkey tomorrow for sandwiches, etc. over the weekend. Really didn't miss the whole Thanksgiving dinner thing. After cooking and hosting for years it was nice to do something different.

SO was off today. First time in 8 years. We did Cracker Barrel turkey dinner and now just sitting around. No running around is kinda nice.

Hope you enjoy your Pheasant. Happy Thanksgiving

Prime rib. Not a fan of turkey and neither are guests. Only thing I like about a turkey is the stuffing so we're having prime rib.

We're having prime rib roast tonight. DH just got it set up in our Ronco rossitere.

For Christmas dinner we're having duck and for New Year's we'll be having crab cakes and butter/garlic/scampi jumbo shrimp.

I'm not a fan of Turkey and after years of cooking them I was sick of it. It's just my husband and I now and we had been having roast stuffed poor for the past 5 - 6 years but this year we had a roast Chicken with all the sides. Still a lot of work, my DH is out in the kitchen now cleaning up.

We had grilled cheese sandwiches.

In my house, Thanksgiving dinner wouldn't be Thanksgiving dinner without turkey. My family is locked into following tradition.

We had turkey and ham. The ham was the favorite! Honey glazed baby carrots, cut up roasted sweet potatoes, green beans with dill, pickled beets, fresh pineapple chunks, and baked apples for dessert. (Grandson is allergic to eggs, peanuts, treenuts, soy, and milk products.)

Next year, it will be just turkey drumsticks since no one cares for the white meat anymore. Why haven't they mentioned that before?

I don't eat meat, I'm a whole food plant based vegan. That said, I made a couple of the dishes that I was considering for a potluck Christmas party I'm going to on Dec 3rd. I liked both of what I made, but I'm going with the less labor intensive one.

As I posted in another thread, we're having our daughter and family and serving a cheese plate; a nice big salad with cukes, radishes, and dried cranberries; veggie enchiladas in honor of our vegetarian granddaugher (Bon Appetit recipe), and homemade apple bundt cake with vanilla ice cream.

I did a plump, lemony roast chicken for us, since it was the three of us. As much as I love turkey leftovers, they would have gone on for DAYS if we'd gotten a bigger bird. But still did stuffing, cranberry sauce etc.

Not me--My son and I went to all you could eat and I am stuffed. He is all I have left of a family.

I had shrimp tacos. Local grocery store does catering so I am going there tomorrow to pick up enough roasted turkey for a couple of turkey sandwiches - that is all I want.

I have never cooked a turkey. My family doesn't care for it. We usually have ham or a rotisserie chicken. This year, my sister and I ate out. No turkey.

My daughter and her family don't like turkey; they want ham. I don't like ham. So, she brings ham and I pick up a Boars Head pre-cooked turkey breast that you heat in the oven for about an hour.
