Doing the bird?
I'm going traditional this year ... Oven roasted, savory butter both sides of the skin and stuffed with herbs, onions, celery and citrus fruit.
How are you folks doing yours or are you traveling? Have a great holiday and safe travels for the folks on the road. Mil Dot

We went up to Jax to eat with my daughter. This was her first time to host a family event in her new Condo.
My daughter's boy friend cooked the turkey in one of those deep fry things. Worked great. Bird was moist and delicious. Along with the turkey, we had venison filets, wrapped in bacon and broiled. My son's gf smoked a Venison roast. I killed those two deer on her farm two weeks ago with a muzzle loader. I fixed a summer squash/cheddar/bacon casserole, sweet potato and orange casserole, oyster dressing, Italan Green beans, sauted just before we ate. I made a Carrot cake with cream cheese icing, two pecan pies, two Sweet potato pies, and an apricot cheesecake Sweet tea, rolls, home made bread and a greek salad rounded out the meal Lots of football on TV after, and a great time with the family.

Ours wasnt quite traditional, but was very good.
Prime Rib, Au Jus, Horseradish, Garlic Mashed Potatos, Green Beans, Shrimp Coctail and trimmings. I think if the pilgrims and injuns had a meal like that, they would have liked it too....

AndyL, that menu was a staple of Thanksgiving dinners with my family for years! We used to slow roast that rib roast on a Weber Kettle all day just adding 6 briquettes, 3 per side every 1/2 hour.
I do it now on my Ronco rotisserie. Standing Rib Roast on this thing is da'bomb. That cheasy little kitchen tool has been one of my best kitchen investments, it's AWESOME! I rotisseried a 13.5 lb Butterball in it today. 2h 45m is all it took and I injected it with butter-garlic and made a rub with kosher salt and varios secret spices. The wife makes a killer stuffing with fresh Chestnuts in the oven since we can't stuff the bird. Mmmmmm....think I'll go make a sandwich while I'm thinking about it!  8X56MS, that squash, cheddar, bacon concoction sounds pretty danged tasty!
