My Sister and I made a semi traditional meal also with a few exceptions. Keep in mind we had a vegetarian (my best friend) and a dialysis patient (my Dad) at our Thanksgiving.
Turkey
Roasted garlic mash potatoes (I cut the potatoes into small cubes and soaked them for 24 hours)
Mashed sweat potatoes with toasted pecans ( I also soaked them in water) it didn't turn out well :(
Turkey gravy
Mushroom gravy
Cornbread stuffing
Vegetarian stuffing
Asparagus
Corn
Cranberries
Strata (this was my best friend's substitute turkey)
Rolls
Pecan pie
Chocolate satin pie
Strawberry cheesecake
It was a long, exhausting but fun day and we still have leftovers!
-
i bought a 24lb turkey 2 weeks before thanksgiving (i like leftovers) it sat in the fridge for 8 days and at 6am thanksgiving morning was still frozen solid. at 6:30 i was at the store buying another turkey. we had, turkey, stuffing, applesauce 7up salad, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, cranberry stuff from the deli (yummy) and rolls. at midnight i took the first turkey out of the oven. lots and lots of leftovers. the leftovers from the first turkey went home with my daughter.

Thanksgiving was my first overnight since my transplant, and I got to help cook:
My friends are Jewish and keep Kosher, and their daughter is also lactose intolerant, so it was creative cooking for Thanksgiving (I did the tarts and souffle then helped with the prep on everything else):
Kosher/lactose free. Which meant very creative in making the tarts and I was exhausted. Surprisingly, it was pretty good. But my heart belongs to butter - I'll never be a kosher cook (no risk of conversion for this WASP)
Israili Salad (avocado, cucumber, tomato)
Turkey
Mashed potatoes (with NO BUTTER - Sacrilege)
Noodle Kugel
Stir fried Veggies (Brussels sprouts, peppers and onions)
Stuffed acorn squash
Cranberry pinenut stuffing
Cranberry/orange sauce
Pumpkin Souffle
Pumpkin tarts (have you ever had to make a pie crust without using butter??? I had to use crisco and a fake butter (pure earth) YIKES that is why I went with small tarts (easier to set the crust when it is small and with the left over filling, I made a Souffle)

Question? Yams with marshmallow topping, are those the orange sweet potatoes that you call yams? And if so, they're so sweet already, with marshmallows on top is it a dessert?
-
First gathering, Thursday, 4 of us:
A pickle platter with small pickles, pepperoncinis, and four types of olives
Shrimp cocktail
14 lb. roast turkey
Stuffing/dressing (cooked outside the bird, but we still call it stuffing), made from scratch with cubed French bread, butter, celery, onion, sausage, mushrooms, sage, and homemade turkey stock.
Mashed potatoes with plenty of butter and cream, and some turkey stock for good measure.
Gravy made from the turkey drippings and stock
Candied yams (or, more accurately, glazed sweet potatoes) - boiled Garnet sweet potato quarters glazed in a butter-brown sugar syrup.
Uncooked cranberry relish, made with fresh cranberries and apples, put through a grinder, with sugar to taste.
Frozen biscuits
We had to abandon the greens: peas and carrots, and brussels sprouts, because we ran out of time and energy.
Dessert was pumpkin pie, storebought.
Second gathering, Saturday, 7 of us:
21 lb. roast turkey
Stuffing, from a box mix, cooked in the turkey
Mashed potatoes
Microwaved sweet potatoes
Turkey gravy
Simmered carrots
Cucumber salad, made with sliced cucumbers, vinegar, sugar, and spices.
Chunky canned cranberry sauce
Storebought rolls
Dessert:
Pumpkin pie (Sara Lee)
Pumpkin-apple butter pie (made by my sister)
Razzleberry pie (Marie Callender's)
Lemon Meringue pie (Marie Callender's)
A box of chocolate liquor bottles
By Sunday I was tired of turkey and Thanksgiving dishes. :)

Question? Yams with marshmallow topping, are those the orange sweet potatoes that you call yams? And if so, they're so sweet already, with marshmallows on top is it a dessert?
Yes yams are sweet potatoes, but sweetened even more in a molasses glaze with marshmallows. I personally do not like them.

actually yams and sweet potatoes, while similar, are two different vegetables

Thanks for the clarification, but is this dish a dessert? It sounds awfully sugary.
In Jamaica we had many different types of yams and we also have a sweet potato but it isn't orange, more yellowy and less sweet than the North American ones. I like a touch of lemon juice on my sweet potatoes to cut the sugar.
-
monrein, we eat them as a potato, and yes they are exceptionally sweet. i make mine in the slow cooker, with butter, brown sugar and maple syrup. my parents often just bake them in the oven and eat them like a regular potato, but with butter and a bit of sugar.
-
I eat them like a potato too, with butter and a touch of lemon. It's the sugar, molasses, marshmallow part I'm struggling with comprehending.
-
Jill D what is grape salad recipe please
Monrein -- just try it but you may not - while it is yummy -- I don't think it is renal friendly
it is not a dessert
the melted marshmellows on it are good
I did not like it until a couple of years ago --- very sweet
-
I don't like my veggies sweet. I try to not eat too much sugar even though I like candy because I don't want to develop any more health problems. Too much sugar for me means candida and the discomfort associated with it.
-
My house:
Kids brought...Smoked Turkey, Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows melted on, Dressing, Pies.
I baked Ham, made Mashed Potatoes, gracy, green beans, cranberry sauce, black olives, and Glorified Rice which my son's request for every occasion..I learned this one from mom in ND. I didn't feel good so ate about 3 bites (really) and went to dialysis below my dry weight, how funny or sad, depending on how you look at it.
-
I had turkey (dry as usual), a spoon of mashed potatoes, a spoon of stuffing w/o celery, a small dinner roll, and egg nog. One year it would be nice to have a correctly cooked bird and not to smell a pie that hasn't been burnt. Things that just makeme wanna go :puke;
-

I use canned yams, and add butter and brown sugar. I cover the top with marshmallows and put in the oven to brown the marshmallows at 400 F. It's my husband's favorite. Looks pretty much like this when it's ready:

Actually... ;)
True yams (tropical yams) are different from sweet potatoes, but one rarely finds those in the continental United States. What we typically call yams, including what traditionally goes on the Thanksgiving table, are orange-fleshed varieties of sweet potatoes, usually garnet or beauregard.
Yam (Dioscoreaceae): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yam_(vegetable)
Sweet potato (Convolvulaceae): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_potato
As for the sweet marshmallow-topped dish of sweet potatoes/yams, no, it's not a dessert. It's served right alongside all the other savory items as a starch. But it's not unique as a sweet item - think of cranberry sauce, or a sweetly-dressed salad or macaroni salad.

Also think of sweet chutney.

Recipe for Mtn. Dew Apple Dumplings:
1 stick butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 can (12 oz.) Mountain Dew
2 granny smith apples, peeled and cut into 8ths
2 cans crescent rolls
Melt butter and mix with sugar, cinnamon and Mountain Dew. Wrap 1 apple wedge inside one crescent roll. Layer bottom of a 9x13 pan. Pour mixture over rolls.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Baste dumplings once through cooking time with juices. Optional: Serve with vanilla ice cream. It's wonderful.
-
This sounds yummo
but I don't know what are
cans of crescent rolls
how much butter
-
mmm yummy...thanks
Crescent rolls are rolls that come packaged in round cardboard containers that pop open...refrigerator section. I generally just use piecrust dough for things like this if I have any.
-
:ausflag;
don't think we have any such thing here
what type of pastry? puff,filo,shortcrust?
-

Crescent Rolls are made by Pillsbury. Similar to a croissant, but its rolled up in a can and you have to bake it. Here's a link for several different recipes for crescent rolls.
http://www.pillsbury.com/products/rolls/Refrigerated/Crescents.htm
As for the butter, our grocery stores sale them 4 sticks in a box. 1 stick of butter is equal to 1/2 cup.

:thx; :thx; :thx;
I'm gonna give it a go
Will double check the supermarket but I'm pretty sure we don't have crescent rolls up here in the top end
Might use puff pastry

That should work. You can even do what G-Ma said about pie crust. As long as you have something doughy to wrap the apples in. Let me know how it turns out. My family really loved it with vanilla ice cream. I'm going to make it again for Christmas.
