@yellowbird: that's a lot to cook! good luck!!
We have turkey, cornbread stuffing, sauerkraut (I can never spell that), rolls, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Plus dessert, which at the very least will include pumpkin pie.
I do the cranberry sauce and rolls, DH does potatoes, my mom is cooking the turkey and my sister usually just shows up to eat and drink wine. 
I will be missing my dad's green beans this year. Don't have the heart to try to replicate them myself.
@yellowbird, how do you prepare your broccoli?

My younger BIL and his GF are hosting for the first time, so I don't know, whatever she wants to make! I am bring cranberry sauce and shrimp cocktail, and we will bring wine that I can't drink. But I can also use being 37 weeks pregnant as an excuse not to clean up so there's that.

@cmomma17: We always roast our broccoli on high heat until it's nice and crispy, then top it with parmesan or colby cheese, kind of like this: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parmesan-roasted-broccoli-recipe.html

@cmomma17: I'm either going to make this casserole my step mom usually makes with Velveeta and a breadcrumb topping or do it like @Oxana suggested.
Everything on our menu is super carby and unhealthy, lol!

We are doing:
Tofurkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, mac & cheese, broccoli & cauliflower cheese casserole, stuffing, roasted Brussels sprouts with coconut bacon, and cranberry sauce. We'll probably have rolls and pumpkin pie too. We start our morning with a chocolate chip orange bundt cake.
I'm so excited ... It'll be our 2nd fully vegan Thanksgiving meal, and it's always a fun challenge to find ways to make tasty versions of our traditional favorites.
@yellowbird: I'm making that casserole too (with non-dairy cheese)!! It's my husband's favorite. We put Ritz crackers on top. We totally indulge in all the carbs on Thanksgiving!!!!

@yellowbird: I made broccoli casserole with velveeta and ritz crackers one year. My DH and I were the only ones who would eat it, haha. So much for trying new things!

I'm making:
- Turkey breast plate
- Stuffing
- Mashed potatoes
- Sweet potato pie
- Sweet potato casserole
- Canned corn (throwback to my childhood!)

I just bought gravy and cranberry sauce from Trader Joe's. Because I've decided to do sweet potato pie on Thanksgiving, we baked pumpkin pies this weekend to enjoy! I'm baking a pecan pie to send my mother and I guess our realtor is bringing us a banana cream pie as a thank you?
