We go to my mother-in-law's for Thanksgiving and they are a big Italian family (30-40 aunts, uncles, cousins there). They do both the traditional & also homemade noodles and sauce Italian dinner. I like both very much!justincredible;1668413 wrote:I'm a big fan of Thanksgiving. I've cooked the turkey every year for the past 4 or 5 and I don't plan on changing that up any time soon. My father-in-law wants to do an "Italian" style Thanksgiving this year, which I think means we are having a full Thanksgiving meal plus a pasta meal. I'm not 100% sure on that.

Damn, that's a lot of people. I think we'll max out at 15 people this year, but only 10 are confirmed.arnie palmer;1668548 wrote:We go to my mother-in-law's for Thanksgiving and they are a big Italian family (30-40 aunts, uncles, cousins there).

Do you inject it first with a marinade? We fry two turkeys each year at my workplace and the guy injects both of them before frying....yummy!thavoice;1668485 wrote:My fav is still deep fried Turkey though.....

We are going back up to Ohio to do Thanksgiving with my wife's family. Should probably be 10-15 people there and at least 7 dogs lol.

I love Thanksgiving meal....but why the hell do I only make it once a year?? I could fried turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, green bean casserole for every meal!
Crab legs??? Good idea!

It's the first year were doing Thanksgiving at our house. I think we're expecting between 15-20 people. I'm guessing we will serve Turkey, a Honey Baked Ham, stuffing, mash potatoes, cranberry sauce, and cheesy potatoes. I'll have my mom bring baked beans, a cheeseball and pumpkin pie. Hopefully I can get my mother in law to make a pecan pie and bring it.

on a side note...what is the most nasty traditional Thanksgiving meal food?
To me it is a tie between stuffing and pumpkin pie.

My cousins and I will deep fry btwn 10 - 15 turkey breasts in the 8lb range from Weds thru Fri for family and friends. Virtually every one will have a different injection and rub. The ceremonial "rubbing of the breasts" has now become a Tiernan family tradition that attracts many family & neighbors for the first bird on Weds night. Of course many frosty adult beverages are also consumed during the fry process.

Stuffing is awesome! Has to be homemade though...the fake shit from a box (stove top brand) = no good!thavoice;1668642 wrote:on a side note...what is the most nasty traditional Thanksgiving meal food?

Fall into the trap all the time and try the stuffing at various get togethers, events, etc thinking it will change.Old Rider;1669340 wrote:Stuffing is awesome! Has to be homemade though...the fake shit from a box (stove top brand) = no good!
