On Thursday I'm making sweet potato turkey shepherds pie to send to work with H
On Sunday, when we do our t-day meal we're having a duck, garlic mashed turnips, broccoli, couscous with caramelized onions and dried cranberries and pumpkin cake with maple "cream cheese" (soy cream cheese) frosting.

I feel like this is major overkill. But there will be 9 of us at my house and we are having:
Appetizers: Spiced nuts, baked brie topped with cranberry sauce with crackers, veggie tray with herb dip
Salad/Bread: Autumn salad with rolls and cinnamon bread
Entree and Sides: Smoked turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, apple and sausage stuffing, sauteed brussel sprouts with bacon, roasted green beans with Parmesan, roasted sweet potatoes, and bourbon baked cranberry sauce.
We will be going over to BIL/SIL. There will be around 15 of us. So I am making the mashed potatoes & gravy, dinner rolls and a pumpkin pie & a mocha cheesecake. Including everyone else's food, we will have turkey, stuffing, green beans, fruit dip & platter, and spinach artichoke dip & crackers.
I also have all my food ready to turn the left over turkey into turkey noodle soup .
I'm bringing (to my friends) mac and cheese, raw veggies with hummus, spinach artichoke dip (appetizer), pumpkin roll, apple pie and maybe some cookies I'm trying out.
they will have: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans, roasted carrots and beets, vegan field roast (Its like a stuffing i think) and I'm sure other stuff.
there will be about 8 adults, 3 toddlers and a newborn.
My mother usually serves the basics: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, rolls, cranberry sauce, and my grandma will bring some other salad or veggie.
I have no idea besides a honey baked ham, and Dh will make his mom's stuffing and deviled eggs. I don't like those so I'll make mashed potatoes and a veggie maybe? Idk. It's just the three of us so I don't want to go overboard with food.

Since we are not hosting this year, I was told to bring cheese/crackers. I got the cranberry goat cheese log from trader joes, basil cheddar, and Brie.
For dessert I am bringing Oreo truffles. Mint and birthday cake.

Phyllo blue cheese and caramelized onion appetizer BBQ turkey Ina Garten's green beans Cornbread muffins Sweet potatoes with brown sugar/pecan crust Macaroni and cheese casserole Smashed potato casserole Stuffing Cranberry sauce
Chocolate pie Triple berry pie squares Pumpkin bars w/ cream cheese frosting
Turkey Sausage stuffing Some form of sweet potato homemade rolls gravy corn green bean casserole apple pie chocolate pie
Except for the green bean casserole and the bread for the stuffing, I'm hoping to make everything from scratch--rather, with as few processed food as possible. I'm usually not able to do that, but for Thanksgiving I can.

Cheese and crackers and veggies for apps Turkey (I'm trying brining it this year) Stuffing Sweet potatoes Mashed potatoes and gravy Rolls Bacon brussel sprouts Tamales and green chili for DH Pumpkin pie and maybe an apple crisp for dessert
We always have sooooo much food! We are with Jeff's family this year. This is definitely not all inclusive, but you get the gist.
2 fried turkeys 1 roasted turkey and gravy a ham mashed potatoes Chicken and dumplings Green beans Dressing Cranberry sauce Oyster dressing (I always end up getting it by accident and then being pissed when I take a bite) Collard greens Rolls
An entire table of deserts including pumpkin, pecan, and coconut cream pies
My parents are hosting but it should be something like this: Roast turkey and gravy Mashed potatoes Stuffing Two kinds of cranberry relish Green bean casserole Salad Dinner rolls
Dessert: I do the baking Cranberry-apple pie Peanut butter cream pie with Oreo crust Pumpkin roll
(No one except for my H likes pumpkin pie, so I stopped making it. His Grandmom makes one for him every year when we go to their house the day after anyway).
