Hello.

I'm over here in the UK, and as a family we like to do big celebration dinners, you know, Halloween, Easter, birthdays, Christmas, new year, Chinese new year, Diwali, basically anything we can have a food fest about.

One such thing we have never attempted before is a Thanksgiving dinner, and this year I wish to change that.

I've found plenty of menus online, but I'd love to here from some real life Americans as to what they eat, and how I can create a proper authentic Thanksgiving dinner.

Also, please tell me this is a proper authentic Thanksgiving staple..

We always have collard greens and we never have rolls or mashed potatoes, just cornbread. We're not even from the south - CT!

Another Canadian here - Thanksgiving is my all time fav.

Must haves:
Turkey
Mashed Potatoes
Veggie of your choice (I like corn, or turnips).
Cranberry sauce.

Dessert:
PIE! Apple, Pecan, butter tarts, apple crisp... yummm. It's all about the seasonal fruits and veggies.

Enjoy!

And yes, stuffing - outside the bird.

In lieu of stuffing in the bird, we use apples, peeled and quartered.

OP - I didn't see mashed potatoes and gravy on your menu, for me that is a quintessential Thanksgiving item. Along with rolls, turkey, some sort of vegetable ( we gave up on green bean casserole because no one liked it), sweet potato casserole (I make this one with brown sugar and pecan topping instead of marshmallows: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/21261/yummy-sweet-potato-casserole/), cranberry sauce (also converted from canned cranberry sauce to whole berry sauce with orange and cinnamon sticks!). Pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and sometimes apple pie...

I'm from the midwest originally so somewhat regional:
-Turkey, I usually just make the breast for the 2 of us. Roasted in the oven with spices like rosemary, sage
-Mashed potatoes and gravy (from the turkey)
-Stuffing, not actually stuffed into the turkey. Made separately. My mom used to put sausage in her recipe but can make without meat
-Corn, either on the cob or canned. Last year I made a delicious corn casserole recipe that was awesome, it was a Paula Deen recipe.
-Dinner rolls, the big soft kind. Great for soaking up the gravy, and can use to make little sandwiches with the leftovers
-Pie, pumpkin and pecan traditionally, but I like apple pie.
-I'm not a fan of cranberries but they're usually in there if you want traditional!

This is my absolute most favorite recipe for "classic dressing" (also called stuffing)!! I hope you try it and LOVE it as much as my family does!!

Melt 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups each diced onions and celery and 1 tablespoon each minced sage and thyme; add salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add 3 cups turkey or chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Beat 2 eggs with 1/4 cup chopped parsley in a large bowl; add 16 cups cubed stale white bread, then pour in the vegetable-broth mixture and toss. Transfer to a buttered baking dish and dot with butter. Cover and bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees F; uncover and bake until golden, 30 more minutes. (Or stuff in your turkey and bake.)

This sounds really good! I'm a cornbread stuffing person, but one of these days I need to give the bread stuffing a go.

We have so many dietary needs (gluten free, diabetic, vegetarian) that we end up with two of everything

Midwestern here. My family is large so we all bring something. A small T-day dinner is 15, we've had as many as 30. So it's not always the same. One of my sisters' makes the sweet potatoes mashed with marshmallows. Another will make them roasted with pecans and coconut (delish!)..both end up being a bit on the sweet side.

We also do our green beans different than most. We make a white sauce, add dill, and add crushed saltines on top. then baked. My ex hated them!

A few years ago I added whipped cauliflower to the menu. It is now my go-to dish. Steam the hell out of the cauliflower, then add it to a food processor with cream cheese (a couple tablespoons), roasted garlic, and 1-2 tablespoons butter, salt. Whip it good! Serve just like that or put it in a casserole dish cover with bread crumbs & grated Parmesan cheese and bake til brown on top.

Pumpkin pie for sure, but we usually have another 3 or 4 options, apple pie and yes we bake our cheesecake (betty crocker recipe 'company cheesecake' ) topped with sour cream - sounds awful, but it's really good.

SuperheroSadie

My family always goes with the basic Green Bean Casserole/Mashed Potatoes/ Homemade Mac & Cheese/ Turkey/ Pie combo! We're not very exciting!

pie_eyes

Lol this post was hysterical first

Turkey
Mashed potatoes smothered in turkey gravy
Stuffing
Green bean casserole

And for a real party make some deviled eggs.

I leave out the rolls and make corn bread - so yummy with fresh salted butter. Apple pie is also traditional for Thanksgiving, at least in the northeastern U.S., because we have plenty of beautiful, freshly harvested apples to use.

What most Americans will not believe is how much turkeys cost in Europe! My daughter-in-law loves American Thanksgiving dinner and she makes it at Christmas when we are all together. In Netherlands, she orders the turkey a week ahead and for one that is 12-15 pounds she pays 120 Euros, which is $130.00! Hopefully, they are a bit cheaper in the UK

Oh my goodness, no.

Last year, I got a frozen turkey on sale for 70 cents a pound. I got the smallest one I could find (12 pounds, iirc) and it cost me less than $8.00. I only feed 2, but it was cheaper for me to get the whole bird instead of a breast! Even still, whole turkey isn't extremely expensive here. I rarely see it for more than $2.50 a pound when buying a whole bird.

I think the most common are:
Turkey
Honey Glazed Ham (or just ham, but this one is good with pineapple lol)
Stuffing
Cranberry Sauce
Mashed Potatoes
Brown Gravy (Mushroom or Beef, but you could do a white gravy if you like)
Biscuits or Rolls
Pumpkin Pie
Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows, as you mentioned
Green Bean Casserole
Carrots
Corn
Homemade Macaroni and Cheese

I'm a vegetarian. This year I will be making vegetarian turkey, possibly a real oven ready turkey (for my partner who is a meat eater), cheese lasagna, vegetarian "meatballs", mashed/baked potatoes, gravy, stuffing, rolls or biscuits and possibly pumpkin pie (though I might store buy this and just add spray canned whipped cream/reddiwhip) and/or macaroni and cheese, now that you reminded me. lol.

I will have to throw a vegetable in there later. Maybe carrots of some sort or broccoli in the macaroni.

iamnotvoldemort

How I make Thanksgiving dinner for 2:

Turkey
Mashed Potatoes
Stuffing
2 vegetable sides (last year it was spinach gratin and honey glazed carrots)
Cranberry sauce (I grew up on the can but made homemade last year and I will never go back)
Turkey gravy (no giblets though)
A small relish tray of deviled eggs and black olives
Pie (Cherry, because I hate pumpkin pie)

Growing up it was basically larger portions of what I make now plus a few baked sweet potatoes and the relish tray contained bread and butter and dill pickle spears. Despite growing up in the south, my parents are from New York so I didn't experience sweet potato casserole until I was well into adulthood. I've actually still never experienced green bean casserole because my mom hated it so much it was banned from the house and I am not that big a fan of green beans.

I've used this method for turkey, and chicken, and it's the best way to make sure that the breast isn't over-cooked. An oven probe or instant read thermometer makes it fool-proof. You'll need garden clippers to get through a turkey's backbone, though. Poultry shears aren't tough enough! It cooks fast, so your oven isn't occupied all day.

http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/11/butterfiled-roast-turkey-with-gravy-recipe.html

I will dry brine and let it sit in the fridge for 24-48 hrs. The skin will be crispy, which is a must. The meat is juicy and cooked to the right temp for white AND dark meat. You get goodies for gravy, too, but I love Ina Garten's recipe for make-ahead gravy.

I'm another who recommends, and prefers, dressing instead of stuffing. It's impossible to cook stuffing to the correct temperature without over-cooking the turkey...and I don't like mushy, either.

DisneyDude85

Large family (30+ when all said and done), so we have 2 turkeys: one roasted, one smoked. Both are AMAZING. And we have 2 types of sweet potato: one with marshmallows, and one with like a praline topping. Again, both are AMAZING! Haha.

I never realized that many people disliked pumpkin pie!!!

For 70 cents a pound I might have bought a couple to put in the freezer.

And I was just congratulating myself on scoring a Butterball frozen turkey for 99 cents a pound!


And I think I've finalized my menu (and made shopping list and timeline for cooking....I might be a *little* obsessed):

hors d'oeuvres
Rosemary Spiced Mixed Nuts
Olive dip


Meal
Bacon-wrapped turkey with maple-bourbon brine
Cranberry sauce with apples, cherries, and toasted walnuts
Sausage and Cornbread dressing
Brown butter mashed potatoes
Loaded sweet potatoes
Corn pudding
Penne au Gratin
Croissants/Sour Cream biscuits
Fried okra
Green beans
Squash casserole
Creamed spinach


Dessert
Chocolate cake with raspberry mousse filling and almond garnish
Pecan pie cheesecake

Canadians also partake in Thanksgiving, and we are so influenced by the Brits, I imagine some of our food reflects that. I am a vegetarian, so thanksgiving to me looks different than it traditionally has, but when I was young my mom would always cook a turkey with stuffing, we would have mashed potatoes and gravy, dinner roles, assorted types of pickled vegetables, sweet potato dish with melted marshmellows, cranberry sauce, steamed or roasted veggies, and the pumpkin pie for dinner is key! However, some may also incorporate butter tarts, nanaimo bars, etc.

dubird

Everyone has kinda hit on the staples, but every family has their own things they do. We usually have green bean casserole, corn, mashed potatoes, broccoli and cheese, and rolls for our sides. I think my dad is the only one that likes cranberry sauce! For dessert, pies definitely, and my mom usually makes Heavenly. That's a dessert with a pecan crust, pudding and cream cheese filling and cool whip on top and it's AMAZING. Yeah, don't forget the Cool Whip! XD

RodaRose

We never had marshmallows and I still won't touch them.
I do remember lots of talk about the stuffing/dressing. Mom still makes two stuffings.
