poor baby.....As much of a cook/chef as I am, I usually leave the bird to the ladies. I make a killer salad, and my award winning (Took first at the county fair) cinnamon roll cake is a must. Taking those this year. use'ta make apple pie and whatnot too, but I got bored with pies. My cousins are makin dinner this year (Ol' Bigguns will be in Cali) So I'll go over there are drowse with a bottle of good bourbon.
Cook up a tofurky

Other than a green salad and the pies, I'm doing the entire Turkey Day meal for 12 people by myself. It's my choice as other people in my kitchen tend to just pi$$ me off anyways. At least I won't have to do dishes afterward.

Since you’re having a bonfire anyway, you could try the pit-barbeque technique, we used to do this down in Mexico for Memorial Day. Dig a pit big enough for the bird(s) but about a foot deeper. The night before build a fire in the pit and keep it going till there’s a nice bed of coals. In the morning add a few pieces of wood to get the coals freshened up and while they are burning down, prepare the turkeys.
Season per your own tastes but we would take whatever spices we could find and rub them on the bird with about a stick of butter inside and out, then stuff the cavity with sliced up onions and celery. Then wrap each one in two or three layers of foil, now the important part, find an old sheet (it will be damaged but still usable for future efforts) and soak it in water, wrap the bird in the wet sheet and tie it good with baling wire leaving a piece sticking up long enough to protrude above ground. Put an inch or two of dirt on the coals and then the birds, bury everything and have fun doing whatever. Cooking time depends on the amount of turkey but for two good size birds, we would wait about three hours and pull them up by the wire sticking out of the ground.
We never had leftovers!
that is what we call an imu here in hawaii.we make kalua pig in there and yes turkey too. but after the firewood is burned into coals we put banana stumps,banana leafs,then soaked burlap bags on the coals.then we put the pig,turkey(which is wrapped in foil and chicken wire) on the wet bags and add t-leaf on top of that.finally we cover the t-leafs with a big plastic sheet/tarp and cover the borders with dirt. and then we wait a couple of hours and...walah,you got yourself some kalua pig and turkey
and yes no leftovers!
p.s. my family plays all kinds of games horseshoes,billiards,card games/texas hold'em is alway fun

You should open a restaurant. Sounds like you are always cooking. I would fish the Columbia for you if you would grill me some salmon. The wife wants to domesticate me now that I am retired and she is working.
I am taking her to eat on post as they have an award winning Thanksgiving feast. I used to have to dress up in my blues and serve the soldiers. Now I can let the officers serve me. 7 different kinds of meat but I will have turkey. My wife will have some duck, I am sure.

I get the same way. The kitchen is my domain, while I'm in it, stay out. It is the most frustrating thing to have a plan and a mission in the kitchen and someone is screwing around in the fridge or the spice cabinet when I have timing to consider and whatnot. Get the eff out of my way! and put my utensils back where you found them, and leave me a clean sink, so I can cook effectively, and don't touch the F**king iPod! I'm listening to George Strait and Chris LeDoux!. and don't ask me why I'm putting XX into the bowl, it will taste good and you will love! grrrrrr...My kitchen is like my man cave. Except there is no TV, I keep the laptop in there to update my own recipes as I make modifications while cooking or baking.

Rant over.

Well my girlfriends family has a buffet style full of desserts to chose from. All of this is homemade. Her and her mom get up around 5:00AM and don't stop until about 4:30Pm. Her dad deep fries the turkey outside with peanut oil. He also makes the stuffing too. This is the only time he cooks once a year.
One dessert/snack my girlfriend makes every Holiday is Nut Role. This is one of the best parts of thanksgiving for me. I remember I brought some home for my mom when I first started dating Sarah and she was like OMG this is better than Grannies!!
I still do not know the recipe and the only way I'll get it is if I marry her.
Well we are having bake ham with the pinapples mac and chesse my son's favorite is the mac and chesse I don't for it. The collard greens, dressing, key lime cake it's so damn good sweet patato pie and a bit more while kicked back watching the thanks giving football game !
