That's...an impressive menu. Can I come?

Ours :

Gourmet cheese plate
Turkey
Stuffing
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Creamed pearl onions
Mashed sweet potatoes with an orange sauce
Cranberry sauce
Green bean casserole (I'm using Alton Brown's recipe)
Maybe corn pudding
Regular dinner rolls
Sweet potato dinner rolls
Pumpkin pie
Apple pie
Pecan pie and/or Caramel-Pecan cheesecake (undecided)
Belgian chocolate

ETA: And maybe another side that my MIL makes that D's aunt likes--but Nan can't remember what it is

@Arden: Well my family would, but I never actually eat the bread during the meal...I'll use it to make mini turkey and stuffing sandwiches that night/next day though!

I don't know yet besides Turkey.mashed potatoes and stuffing and gravy

That's a lot of food! How many people are you hosting?

I am hosting 11 adults:
For predinner grazing: caremelized onion pizza, goat cheese cranberry log with crackers, crawfish pies
For the dinner:
15 lb turducken with stuffing
Corn pudding
Brussels sprouts with bacon
green salad
mashed sweet potatoes
cranberry sauce
maybe some rolls

I just realized my phone cut me off! Whoops.

I was saying that I'm tempted to make the mashed potatoes Bobby Flay made on Goodmorning America a couple days go, Mashed potatoes with hazelnut sage brown butter.

No one does cornbread anymore? We've never done rolls or bread (beyond the stuffing), but cornbread is a staple for us! I use it like a little square of sheet cake and drizzle cranberry sauce over it. Mmm...

I'm only cooking for me and H so I'm trying not to go too overboard! Right now the menu is:

Herb-roasted turkey breast with pan gravy
Chorizo and cornbread stuffing
Green bean casserole
Candied sweet potatoes
Homemade cranberry sauce
Rolls
Maple pumpkin pie

I'm still debating mashed potatoes. They aren't really necessary, but...I like them

We are going to my ILs and they do a pretty standard meal:

Turkey
Stuffing
Cranberry sauce
Sweet potatoes with pecans on too
Oatmeal rolls
Mashed potatoes
Green bean casserole ( Alton brown)
Roasted root vegetables and cauliflower
Bourbon pecan pie
Pumpkin pie

I also want to try making homemade butter. A salad sounds nice too. I always see these great thanksgiving recipes, but they aren't really recipe people! Just kind of do your own thing.
