Count anything that is celebrated as Thanksgiving, turkey need not be consumed. Leftovers would not be included in the count unless you do a separate left over gathering.
I'm eating three Thanksgiving meals this year: Friendsgiving last weekend, work Thanksgiving yesterday, and hosting on the day of. I'm glad we don't split the day between multiple families. I'm already feeling like it's excessive.

We do one, but had a few years I got together with a group of high school friends for a "Friendsgiving". We sorta stopped the last few years. Harder now that most of us have 2 kids.

Just one this year.
For two years straight, before I started hosting, I had two Thanksgivings on the same day! DH bff's followed by MIL. Talk about stuffed.

Just one this year, with all of my family. The past few years we haven't even celebrated it since it's not a holiday here and everyone is working

Technically, 2. Thanksgiving and potluck at work. BUT. I love turkey and we routinely do the full thanksgiving smorgasbord a few times a year. 
At least 4x a year. I've been known to ask for turkey for my birthday in May.

Three this year. My family, then in-laws, then we'll host the Sunday after to bring both families together. Growing up it was 2-3 each year...the pros (cons?) of having families live close by

Two, both on the day of. Our families live in the same city so we've combined in the past, but have extended family in town on both sides this year, so will be hitting both. One meal at 3pm, one at 5:30pm. DH is stoked

I voted 3, but I guess technically it's 5.
Monday before Thanksgiving there is a Thanksgiving feast at LO's preschool.
Thanksgiving day- lunch with my dad's side & dinner with my mom's side (excluding my mom, she chooses to not come)
Friday - Dinner with my mom, her husband and his kids/grandkids, plus my siblings and nieces.
Saturday- Lunch withDH's family.
I wouldn't mind it if each of these, excluding the preschool, weren't 1-2 hours away.

Normally one, but somehow it's going to be three this year. 
Fortunately they are on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, so we'll have time to recover in between.

So far I'm at two this year, and still have two more to go to. It's a good year, I'd aim for a dozen if I could get away with it!
