What's the flavour of thanksgiving? Turkey?

I've never made it at home, but when I see it for sale, it's always pre-slathered, Dipping the fries, and curds on the side could work though. :)

I know they sound weird but they are really good. I have even taken them to friends' house for Thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved them. I was quite disappointed when TJ's told me last week that we were past the season. huh?

Cheeseburgers on sourdough toast
chicken apple sausage
sweet potato casserole (practice for thanksgiving!)
oven steak fries
Crescent Rolls (last had these years ago)
WF tomato soup with Parmesan cheese crisps (just grated Parmesan at 375)

This - ditto for cheese sauce :-)
we don’t slather ketchup on crisp fries.

I don't make them at home either, but I order them every now and then as a salty snack at the pub and the gravy always comes on the side. I guess for poutine the gravy and curds is the dish and having them on the side would be like deconstructed poutine. :D

They sound pretty good. I had a hot bbq chicken roll with stuffing and gravy for lunch from a place down the road.

I can't believe the amount of food (especially carbs) that you can pack away. :eek:

lol I’m just full of surprises.

Carbs and fat.

The building blocks of a delicious meal.
Actually, I'd probably sub protein for the carbs.

The intriguing omission from that dietary overload is anything that is grown in or on the ground. I'm certainly opposed to veganism, but I'm not opposed in the sense of refusing to eat, or enjoy, vegan foods!

Delicious, perhaps, but not healthy.
That's an ongoing comment on this thread.

Sweet potatoes would qualify from that list I think. Although that's the one vegetable you won't catch me eating. And regular fries, which I would.

I roasted a turkey last night, solely to cut up for use in other meals like like turkey tacos.

How do you not like sweet potatoes? How about Yams?
sweet potato fries? :-)

ooh fun!! Enjoy :-)

Broiled salmon
mashed potatoes with optional lemon/mushroom gravy
leftover sweet potato casserole with broiled marshmallows
roasted bruxelles sprouts

I’m so excited to cook thanksgiving! Just had a zoom chat with the other moms in our book club and one will also have a turkey for their family of 3; the other mom is vegetarian so it’ll just be 2 of them! The other moms assured me that I can freeze the turkey leftovers :-)

Several of us on here confirmed that you can freeze leftover turkey as well. IMO it gets a little dry when frozen/defrosted. Save some gravy to moisten it with. I noticed that you are making the gravy tonight instead of using the turkey drippings---don't let all of that yummy bottom of the pan go to waste.
