I have family to visit so I usually eat traditional dinner. But if I weren't doing that I sure as heck wouldn't confine myself to turkey. Unless I was in the mood. Turkey barbecue sounds pretty good to be honest.
we started something new...with the parents and family getting older and larger … to go out to eat at a buffet ….with all the trimmings and desserts..
then go to a family members home for a gathering..
this alleviated the host being stressed out cooking the whole meal.....how many are actually coming... . and food allergies.... and picking up which we all helped...
we show up....eat and leave....still get to visit at the gathering after the meal
also allows the men-folk to go hunting in the morning …
It is not my year to cook. I’ve tried to convince DH that it might be fun to just eat pizza and watch football, not that I care a fig for football games, but I haven’t gotten through to him. He likes eating turkey, I think. It is not as if he hasn’t eaten turkey for the previous 75 previous years.
We are still talking about this.
I don’t know what we are going to do.
I don’t want to cook, and I don’t want to buy a prepared turkey dinner, either.
We’ve tried eating out for Thanksgiving, and the food has been overpriced and not particularly good.
I have the option of working this year, The boss will make a huge Thanksgiving dinner at her house.
We'll pack everyone in the vans and go over there..

If it were me I would compromise with something like pre-cooked roasted chicken, salsa, charro beans, rice, and some kind of cooked vegetable or else a salad. I never did like the traditional sides personally.
Boston Market will be keeping us right on Thanksgiving night. Followed by a few drinks and fireworks.
If I choose to cook, a roasted pork shoulder or high priced cut of fish with the fixings. We dont do the big family thing, its our night.
