Gotta have cranberry sauce with that stuffing and gravy.

Of course, there's always crawfish.

I’ve never had this, but it looks so yummy!

Baby Lobsters?

I love crawfish more as an Étouffée.

Otherwise known as Crawdads or Mud Bugs.

While my fave is Turkey, we're going to rotisserie a Chicken to go with the stuffing and gravy...no guests this year and the catz like chicken more.

Crawfish in December?  My Yankee wife loves crawfish, but the first drive through places don't have the mudbugs available usually until mid January, and often as late a early February.

Me?  I used to frequent a bar in the late 70's- early '80's that served the stuff up free, and I got burned out on it.

Southern Turkey Cornbread Dressing.

Yes!

My favorite meal of the year to cook (and eat). Turkey, sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, mashed sweet potatoes (just mashed with milk & butter) cranberry salad, vegetable of some sort, zucchini bread, King's Hawaiian sweet rolls, pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream, and pecan pie.

Usually we have an afternoon Thanksgiving dinner and then later on we eat leftovers and of course .... more pie!!! I love both pumpkin and pecan, so I normally do a little bit of both.

Leftovers again the next day .... yummmerific!!

Pee-can pie.

Pee-can pie.

I've always pronounced it pe-can, but pee-can or pe-can is really hard to beat at Thanksgiving...and a dollop of whipped cream makes it even better.

My southern relatives always pronounced it pee-can, while most up here in Iowa don't, and of course I have to remind them how to say it 'correctly.'

I can substitute pumpkin pie, but yes whipped cream or ice cream is a necessity. That gets me into a good sugar coma for watching the football game.

Thanksgiving night.

Pre-cut pumpkin pie, spray-on whip cream, 3am, buck nekkid, by the frigerator light.

Best.thing.ever.

Leftovers sometimes taste better.

I have to have both pecan and pumpkin pies, in multiples, with plenty of ice cream.

One year my older sis made me a pecan pie, but she didn't leave it in the oven long enough and it didn't set. It made the best ice cream topping though.

Pecan Pie is too damned good for me.  If I made it, I'd swallow a whole pie and that's good for about five pounds on my ass.

The turkey

I'm usually eating it as I carve it

Wait .... what??? People actually eat pecan pie?  I always thought there was one pie per family brought out year after year for the holidays ----just to keep the fruitcake company.

Now I know that people think fruitcakes are a joke, but to consider pecan pies as a joke too is going too far. I take it you've never even tasted a fresh out of the oven homemade pecan pie. Or even a chocolate pecan pie. And if you've ever eaten just a slice of my Mom's fruitcake, you wouldn't joke about fruitcakes either.

[The_Reader_David]

The list is missing cranberry sauce/relish.  I like both the canned version we had growing up in the '60's and homemade versions cooked from fresh cranberries with candied orange peel (or better still kumquats, if you can find them).

Now I know that people think fruitcakes are a joke, . . .

Fruitcakes are a joke, unless you do them right, which involves copious amounts of (take your pick) brandy, rum or whiskey, in which case they are simply glorious!
