I'm going to try pickled grapes for the relish dish, based on a recommendation from @estherdragonbat.
And pecan pie...

Nothing. I'll be on the east coast visiting my BIL and SIL. We're going into NYC on Thanksgiving to see the Rockettes and going to Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse afterwards.20

NYC on Thanksgiving. Perfect! And Fogo de Chao is so good...4 -
I’m bringing my new body, my love for my family... and probably my sage sausage stuffing. 🥰9

Isa Chandra Moskowitz's onion & cauliflower bake! https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/z48dj4/caramelized-onion-cauliflower-casserole
And maybe some sagey mushroom gravy 😍2 -
Going to my SIL & BIL's, probably. Usually bring salad. BIL like cole slaw (traditional, with mayo; I use a Granny Smith apple in it along with cabbage & carrots, which they seem to like). Usually another salad, but these are not Salad People, so it usually has whole wheat orzo and small bits of actual veggies. And a bottle or two of wine.
These are not mostly things I'd make to eat myself, though they're things I'll eat happily. But when your in-laws still keep you (for family holiday purposes) 20+ years after their brother is dead, and even make a special dish of cheesy potatoes without the bacon, and make vegetarian baked beans because you don't eat meat, you bring food you think they might like, right?
I'm lucky: I married into a really good family.35 -

Heard their steak is phenomenal.2 -
I am going to cure and smoke a 15lb turkey. I need 5-7 days to cure so i hope turkeys go on sale soon!5

I’ll bring the deviled eggs and a Gouda stuffed apple or two.4
-
I'm going through my brother's and SILs. I'm bringing salad, probably with persimmons, almonds, and feta. I'm always asked to bring salad, it's becoming a thing. I do make a mean salad as I love adding tons of stuff to them.7
-
Apple pie! Yum.6
-
I’ve already done the Canadian version, didn’t have to cook a thing, so can I drop by everyone’s house (or restaurant) for a nibble. Please.
I’ll bring wine.
Cheers, h.

Me too, the whole meal. My daughter is coming down on Wednesday before. I’m turning over the reins to her this year and I’ll be her sou chef. I’ve been cooking, or helping my mom, cook Thanksgiving dinner since I was 15. That’s over 50 years.
The local turkey trot has become a family tradition. This will be our 8th year. It makes room for a few extra calories 😉
It’s my favorite holiday!

Instant pot turkey breast and rolls will be my main contribution. Then I will fill in some side dishes depending on what others are bringing.4

12" springform pan deep deep cheesecake...none for me though

I'll bring my homemade cranberry sauce, which my aunt believes is made from some secret recipe even though I've told her repeatedly that it's just the one on the back of the bag.18
-
Spiced orange cranberry sauce and roasted veggie and quinoa salad.5
-
I’m bringing my credit card—we don’t cook at home, usually meet friends at the country club for Thanksgiving dinner.10
-
I'm taking a tossed salad and a green veg (probably green beans with almonds).5

-
I'm baking cherry pie and pumpkin pie. Both 100% from scratch.

Indeed! It's amazing how much happier the holidays are once you eliminate grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning up! Plus we all get to eat exactly what we want (I'll just be over there by the prime rib, thanks!)2 -
I do turkey but then the rest is a British roast, if it's just me and the husband. Mashed potatoes, roasties, carrot and turnip, something green (sprouts for me, green beans for him probably) and Oxo gravy made with the bastings and carrot water and some other things. Not sure about dessert yet. I'm actually not eating meat so much right now so will have to see if I can just get a breast/quarter to cook for him. Oh and I will make some cranberry sauce.4

I'm bringing everything ... from the kitchen to the dining area.🦃
Worthington vegetarian turkey
Fruit stuffing (raisin bread, cranberries, etc)
Roasted asparagus
Some sort of potatoes
Relish tray, mostly olives
Can-shaped cranberry sauce
Probably pumpkin 🥧3 -
I'm bringing my dog! He likes to eat with the hoomans.11
We all make something and "share"
