I'm craving...turkey....

A fortuitous time! Around here, turkey is cheaper even than chicken right now. We're eating it with basically every meal, making dog food out of it, everything.

What we do is buy four or five turkeys while they are on sale at Thanksgiving, then throw them in our chest freezer in the garage and pull one out every couple of months through the year. But there is still something special about the whole Thanksgiving feast thing. It's my favorite holiday of the entire year.

My parents do this.  I have in the past, and would now, but I lack the space to store a single turkey, much less multiple birds.

I agree, but there's also a lot to be said for the random off-season turkey dinner.  It's a lot less stress, not worrying about family gatherings or making sure all the traditional dishes are prepared, or using the fancy china, etc.

That's one thing I love about turkey.  After the meal come the sandwiches.  And various dishes made from leftovers.  And once the carcass has been stripped of meat, it's time to make stock for soup.

Pie. Any kind of pie. 

And root beer with vanilla custard.

Well, for us in this stage of life, Thanksgiving dinner is just our immediate family, mostly because of geography. We like it that way, for all the reasons you outline above. It makes it easier to focus on the real purpose of the holiday: being thankful.

Family tradition since before I was born.

I was craving chorizo, piñon, cornbread stuffing, with gravy on top... so I made it. Now I'm stuffed.

[Tonka Crash]

Nothing, absolutely nothing. I can barely move.

[LordFerret]

Me too.  Still stuffed.  Can barely move.  I didn't eat that much turkey, perhaps a portion the size of the palm of my hand... but I made a total wreck of myself eating everything else in sight.  Oh and wine.  Let's not forget the wine.

Yeah, I had a fair amount of a nice pinot noir.

Was too lazy to seriously get all the meat off the carcass, so I cut it apart with shears, and threw it in the stock pot, and cooked it til this morning.

[LordFerret]

Oh my wife and I picked the carcass clean, but the meat all goes into the fridge.  We'll be munching on turkey sandwiches (bread, turkey, mayo, and a little salt).

[tater]

I got the big pieces off the bones.

[Kernel Kraken]

I'm a picky eater so I just had 3 rolls.

Thanksgiving is fun.

[TheSaint]

Our Thanksgiving was outstanding. Had turkey sandwiches for lunch this afternoon.

[TheSaint]

Homemade eggnog. We've been through two gallons of it so far since the season opened on Thanksgiving weekend, and I still haven't had enough. Need to make more this week.

[Green Baron]

Got a bunch of fresh basil and will have a GIANT caprese salad now (Tomato, fresh mozarella cheese, balsamico (red wine vinegar)).

Buen provecho !

I just noticed that one of the local rotating restaurants in the area has become a gyro place.  I need to try it before it, too, disappears.

 

(And you avatar picture reminds me way too much of last night's D&D session.)
