Answer 5

I either make a scalloped corn or a baked brussel sprout dish on the side. And ocassionally homemade cornbread with cranberry jam instead of the usual rolls.

Answer 6

We fry our turkey in peanut oil, and after it is done - we drop in thinnly sliced sweet potato slices - and make sweet potato chips. We then sprinkle them with salt and a little sugar. And - you can also use a little maple syrup to dip them in like catsup with french fries. They are awesome!

It's really fun - we just stand around the picnic table outside and eat these as fast as we can!

(It's our snack before Thanksgiving Dinner LOL)
