A roast is a good choice - either beef or pork. The sides for the turkey work well with that.

A lot of people have ham too.

We have fried chicken, turkey and a honeybaked ham. Everyone in his family likes something different. Needless to say, we don't have to cook for two weeks after Thanksgiving ... even with sending food home with others. LOL Last year his dad even brought prime rib!

I have made beef tips and rice for Thanksgiving along with a turkey breast. My husband is not crazy about turkey. My sons like rice more than potatoes so this worked well for us.

Last year for our different meat my nephew did a beef tenderloin on the grill. We have good weather here in Texas for things like that. It was wonderful next to the turkey and dressing ect...........

Not sure what he is doing this year that is his job like mine is 5 pds. of chocolate peanut butter fudge since 1985.

Ham is a classic side, unless you have guests who don't eat ham.

Prime rib.

I agree about either ham or prime rib.

Or - I'd probably go with whatever the people I am feeding prefer.

For Holidays we usually go with either Turkey, Ham, Prime Rib, Lamb, Lobster or Crabs, or a combo. I have no idea why I capitalized each of those words but don't feel like correcting it.

That is what I am making tonight. I love spare ribs with sauerkraut.

Pork Loin roast w/apples sound delicious and you can use the traditional sides as well.

Since we usually have Thanksgiving with the in-laws we have turkey & ham. At home we have Prime Rib. Don't make it for the in-laws because they want it well done. That's not happening.

I think anything goes. Whatever people like. Turkey is I think a must plus any kind of meat. For instance I have a friend who doesn't eat any poultry and for him we always have some kind of meat.

As long as I am given a chance to make my cranberry sauce !!!! Lol
