I am going to families house for the holiday, but I also wanted to prepare a meal at home for my very small family 3 children under 10 years old and 2 adults. Please give me some meal ideas for this occasion.

First of all, wait and buy your turkey the day AFTER Thanksgiving. At most markets you can get good quality birds at almost half price that way.
Second, if you don't have a lot of dark meat eaters and mostly want turkey for sandwiches and the like, consider just buying turkey breast instead of the whole bird. It will cook faster too, so you are not tied to the kitchen all day long.
So the things most people seem to want for leftovers, to make sandwiches and nosh on through the following week, are turkey, stuffing, gravy, winter squash or sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Fill in with whatever veggies you know your family will eat.

I would recommend a small turkey (8 lbs), or a medium- sized 1/2 shank ham (pre-sliced is best), mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, rolls, and pumpkin pie! Good luck!

You dont have to be traditional for it to be Thanksgiving. Most small families I know just buy a turkey breast instead of the whole turkey.

Keep it simple. A little turkey, sweet taters and a veggie. If you want to be brave, make some white potatoes too.
