Post here if you aren't having Turkey for Thanksgiving.

[arcadian]

But you are still celebrating with a meal. We're having Rock Cornish Game hens instead, since it's just me and my wife. Stuffing and most of the other regular Thanksgiving fare.

[BeyondGeography]

1. Duck

as in the bird. There's only three of us this year; we've gone the game hen route before as well.

[randr]

9. Ditto

[tekisui]

2. Goose.

[Christa]

3. A bird is a bird

:party:

[Barack_America]

4. Tofurkey!

And a small turkey tenderloin thing for my husband and the dogs. But I am not touching that thing, that's for sure!

[niceypoo]

45. Salad is murder

Kill and eat vegans

[Raine]

50. Geesh

5. Frozen chicken dinner.

[niceypoo]

44. I would suggest you thaw it

I will go one step further and suggest you heat it up

[elocs]

6. Wasn't going to, but then I might stop at the huge feast today at my city's civic center.

I have to go downtown at about that time so I may as well pop in for the meal. It saves me from having to make my own grub.

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. On the road going to Memphis

Eating at the Paula Dean Buffet in Tunica, MS. Will probably have seafood.

[onenote]

8. was going to a big thanksgiving dinner but then I got the flu

so its dinner at home with my wife. We're having chicken, canned veggies, corn pudding, and blueberry pie. It s a bit disappointing -- I love getting together with a large group for the holiday. The folks we were going to be with cook several turkeys -- one deep fried, one on a weber grill, and a couple traditional birds. They freeze half of the leftovers to eat the rest of the year and take the rest of the leftovers to a nearby shelter.

[superduperfarleft]

10. Mine:

- Bryanna's seitan "turkey" (either a roulade or standalone)
- wild rice & bread stuffing with mushrooms, walnuts, carrots, sage, & vegan margarine
- mushroom gravy with porcinis
- mashed potatoes with scallions
- roasted brussel sprouts and cauliflower
- roasted carrots
- broccoli & vegan "cheese" rice casserole
- green salad
- fresh baguette with red pepper jelly, herbed vegan cream "cheese," pate and garlic olive oil

And probably lots of Budweiser, at least on my part.

[Warpy]

12. Sounds great

Back in the day, I made my own seitan out of whole wheat flour, making a bran cracker out of the starch from the first washing that was almost better than the seitan.

These days, my hands and wrists won't take it and the bowl of the mixer isn't big enough for it, so I've had to discover Quorn instead. They do a wonderful turkey substitute, but you can't stuff it.

So I'll be eating fish, the only flesh food I still eat.

[superduperfarleft]

14. I'm so useless I can barely boil water.

The wife handles all the cooking, and she's amazing at it. I've never had quorn, but we had tofurkey one year, and she decided it was just cheaper to do it herself, so no complaints from me. I picked a good one. ;)

[Warpy]

11. Stuffed salmon

I'm still not awake enough to make the stuffing, but I thawed some prawns along with the salmon fillet and those will be part of it. The rest will be cooked brown rice and whatever I have on hand that makes it smell right, plus a handful of sliced almonds for crunch. I figure I'll get around to it in a few hours, I slept in this morning.

I might or might not make a Mornay sauce for the broccoli. It'll depend on my undependable energy level, but I've got the Gruyere in the freezer.

[arcadian]

15. Salmon stuffed with prawns? Sounds awesome.

Reminds me of the Simpsons

Moe: And bring us the finest food you've got, stuffed with the second finest.

Waiter: Excellent, sir. Lobster stuffed with tacos.


:rofl:

[wolfgangmo]

13. Some celery and a few nuts.

Our medical director opened our clinic today so that low income folks with cancer could see us at almost no cost.

So celery and nuts is all I have time for and I feel like the luckiest guy in America.

[tammywammy]

16. We've done the cornish game hens a few years

This year my mom invested in a turkey fryer, plus my brother I don't see but every few years is coming, so she's doing a turkey. Her corn bread dressing is where's it's at anyways. Yum yum.

[Blue For You]

17. We're having bologna sandwiches for lunch.

For dinner tonight, it's leftover chicken and pastry from a few nights ago. We're not religious, so we don't have a deity to give "thanks" to. It's just another day for us. Our christian relatives are all feasting on turkey though!

[951-Riverside]

18. Here.

I don't celebrate Thanksgiving.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. Beef curry and peach chutney. I never did like turkey. Too bland.

[ThomThom]

20. beef roast

We rarely eat beef so it is a big treat.

[Caretha]

21. Lobster

[datasuspect]

22. we're having the bitter tears of lamentation for all the slain birds today in protest

[donheld]

23. I guess we're either having wine or Whine

[Beaverhausen]

24. Tofurkey

[spanone]

25. h a m

[mzteris]

26. Quorn "turkey" -

a vegetarian version.

With veggie gravy.
Green Beans (real ones - not that "casserole crap")
Mashed Potatoes
Rolls
Stuffing
Cranberry stuff

Same thing we have every year. My kids "freaked" when I suggested making something different.

Then the older one relented and said asparagus was okay. Now the younger one is aghast, "asparagus? on Thanksgiving???"

[Touchdown]

55. If you were my Mom, I'd run away and sell my body.

Asparagus!:puke:

Everything else sounds good.:D

[blueamy66]

59. Hey, I love that casserole crap.

I make it every year and there is never any left.

Quorn turkey....now that sounds like carp.

:P

[mzteris]

64. what do you know?

You're a BILLS fan!

I bet you eat "kimmelwick", too. Boiled roastbeef with watery bland gravy and rolls with too much salt. bleh. . .




:rofl:

[blueamy66]

69. Actually, I hate the

rolls...they have carraway seeds on them. But the rest of it is yummy! You forgot the horseradish!

And gotta love hot chicken wings!

:9

And hey, I couldn't control where I was born. You think I'm happy to be a Bills'
fan????

[tyedyeto]

27. We're having ribs

Had our T-Day a week and 1/2 ago when my 3 brothers came to visit. All turkeyed out. So, today it's slow cooked ribs. And no green bean casserole. Just the green beans with some bacon and onion.

[GoCubsGo]

28. Grilled salmon

I'll probably grill the asparagus that will accompany it. Would love some stuffing to go with it, but I have no self-control, and my waistline can't handle a big splurge like that...

[cutlassmama]

36. same here

[silverweb]

29. We're having Quorn...

... with all our favorite sides.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

[alfredo]

30. Chicken breasts and roasted vegetables.

[eShirl]

31. leftover chicken, sushi rice, butternut squash, pickled ginger

[dimpol]

32. Burgers

burgers all season long

[LeftyMom]

33. Vegan potluck here.

[Peregrine Took]

34. Just veggies for us - but what delicious veggies they are with garlic and

chilies and herbs and onions....more - yum!

[Obamanaut]

35. Game hens here also. One daughter came over and we cooked

together while Miz O entertained a great grandson.

I found a recipe for gravy on the internet, and it turned out great.

A neighbor came by and we all (except for the three year old great grandson) shared a bottle of some sort of wine.

It was a very pleasant time.

Edited to add - Daughter was babysitting while her daughter (our granddaughter) recuperates from making us another great grandson yesterday.) Methinks we are getting very old.

[HelenWheels]

37. steak, lamb chops and chicken

I don't like the regular thanksgiving fare - no mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, turkey or stuffing for me

[EndersDame]

38. Tofurkey lurkey!

[fudge stripe cookays]

39. Sigh. No Thanksgiving this year.

reprehensor and I missed the Canadian version, crossed the border the last of October, and they don't have the American version up here, obviously. Tonight I'm just throwing together pasta or something.

I'm gonna get elaborate at X-mas though.

:hi:

[laylah]

40. Rock cornish game hens

here also! Greenbean casserole (I could LIVE on this...for awhile), baked sweet taties, and pumpkin pie. It was awesome! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! :grouphug:

[GreenArrow]

41. Indian Food

Stuffed...ready for nap...

[Odin2005]

42. I ate the most delicious ham I ever had!

[chatnoir]

43. Quorn Turk'y Roast

With the usual suspects:

- Stuffing
- Mashed potatoes
- Cranberry sauce
- Maple sweet potatoes

But none of that funky green been casserole stuff, though Mr cn is doing a turkey breast/tenderloin thing for himself and kitty.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[quiller4]

46. Roast pork tenderloin at our house--haven't fixed turkey for Thanksgiving

since my Dad died. We decided when we became the "senior generation" we could determine the family tradtions. I've fixed raosst beef, grouse, ham and several other things for holiday meals but no turkeys.

[Barack_America]

47. .

:kick:

[Diabolita23]

48. Lifelong vegetarian

No turkey here. Usually I do a loaf with stuffing and gravy - from the cookbook "Friendly Foods" by Ron Picarski (sp?). It's delicious. This year - I am taking t-day off! No cooking for me.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

49. We stopped making turkey several years ago when the consensus was, no one was crazy

about it..

Tonight is a hodgepodge. Scampi, manicotti, hot spinach and artichoke dip, stuffed mushrooms, mashed potatoes and pastrami. :)
Pastrami is a favorite of one son, and scampi is the favorite of my other one.
Manicotti, artichoke dip, stuffed mushrooms, potatoes are to make one of my son's vegetarian gf happy. :)

Apple pie for dessert.

Have to go and make the shrimp now.

Happy Thanksgiving All!

:hi:

[flvegan]

51. Tofurkey.

Lots of other stuff too.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

52. Had roasting chicken.

[comtec]

53. this is my first turkey day in 7 years

we're having turkey, stuffin, some dutch cheese i brought over, pumpkin pie (also got some OMFG fudge at tilamook that tastes like a pumpkin pie), and one or two other things.

it's nice to be home for a bit.

Europe is nice, and it's really growing on me... but I MISS thankgiving. I miss turkey, and I miss my family.
I with Europe had some kind of similar non-religious holiday that was just about family.

oh well, i have this one and, even though it's been a trying, busy, and tiring trip, I'm glad I did it.

I needed to remember that people love me, that I have value as a person, and that my life will go on, lonely as it may be, after my marriage.

[Gwendolyn]

56. Welcome home Comtec! Happy feastings.

When I lived over the pond for a time, I brought Thanksgiving with me. :) All the friends were invited and we had a blast. Someone brought a rutabaga-potato-garlic mash that was insanely delicious. We had lemon cheesecake instead of pumpkin pie. The rest was a traditional feast, including the copious amounts of wine.

You should give it a try next year!

[Touchdown]

54. Smoked cheeses, salamis, prosciutto ham and crackers. Wine, and Diet Coke.

It's the company that matters, not the food. We'll go out and have a nice dinner Saturday.

[onethatcares]

57. Lasagna salad merlot cheesecake

and it's a fine day. Four, count them, four days off in a row. I'm finally getting the hardwood flooring installed in the bedroom after three years of having it sit in boxes in the garage/shed. It's just the wife and I, and I feel really happy for some reason.

May you all have peace in your hearts. (I didn't mean lasagna salad merlot flavored cheesecake)

[butterfly77]

58. We're have the same as you are..

[varelse]

60. Delicata squash stuffed with homemade vegetarian stuffing, vegetarian gravy

homemade cranberry sauce made with filtered water, organically grown fresh cranberries, and organic sugar. The salad is organically grown beets from our local CSA, dressed with liquid from the cranberry sauce plus some organic wine vinegar, organically grown celery & onions, and a dash of sea salt. Oh, and organically grown mashed potatoes :)

For desert, we're having homemade apple and butternut squash pies made with organic butter, flour, sugar, spices, apples and butternut squash.

:)

[cordelia]

61. Beef tenderloin and fixin's

[Dorian Gray]

62. I had duck

was going to get fish but changed my mind at the last minute. (We went to a restaurant with a choice of five dishes.)

[era veteran]

63. Prime Rib

Meatloaf at Christmas. Family tradition

[StarfarerBill]

65. Bhindi masala from a local Indian restaurant.

:)

[bikebloke]

66. Lentil Soup

Out of the can. I could have cooked something more, but I was satisfied with soup.

[ceveritt]

68. thanksgiving meal

Bourbon.

And not one person called.

I don't care much for the holidays since my wife died.
