Answer 2

I don't like frozen turkeys at all. I always purchase mine a day or two before and never have not found a fresh turkey. I think you can order them too if you are pretty friendly with your local butcher he will put one aside for you. But we have a supermarket on every corner and I cannot imagine not finding a fresh turkey. More is better anyhow...we love the leftover sandwiches. Frankly there is almost never any leftovers in our household no matter how big the turkey is! I guess it depends where you are at the availability. If you got one today you'd be fine until Monday for sure.

Answer 3

Classic Deviled Eggs (They are the best and everyone LOVES them. Plus they are easy)
http://www.goodegg.com/recipe/deviledegg.html

Or you can do Green Bean Casserole...that is another group fav...
Just go buy 2 cans of Frenches French Fried Onions, 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom soup and 4 cans of String Green Beans. Add both cans of soup mix and the green beans to a bowl and mix well then add one can of onions and mix well again, poor it into a backing dish and bake at 325 for 30min and then poor the other can of Frenches onions on top of the mix and put it back in the oven for another 10 Min's.....then its all done!

Answer 4

Besides the usual Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Corn, Green Bean Casserole and Dinner rolls, we'll probably have these as well:


Crock pot macaroni and cheese
16 oz. box of macaroni (for 5 qt. pot)
3 large cans of evaporated milk
3 cups shredded cheese, chedder or whatever kind you like best
3 eggs
1 stick melted margerine
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon sugar

Mix all together and put in crock pot. Cook on low 3 hours. Add a little extra cheese on top if you love it real cheesy.


Roasted Garlic Scallopped potatoes
1 (19 ounce) can creamy potato with roasted garlic soup
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a blender combine soup, cream, thyme and pepper; process until smooth. Spread a thin layer of the mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Layer potatoes with cheese, ending with potatoes and reserving 1/2 cup cheese. Pour soup mixture over potatoes and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 70 minutes.



And for dessert we'll be having pumpking pie, sweet potatoe pie, cheesecake and:

Pumpkin Log
3 eggs
2/3 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour a jelly roll pan (10 by 15 inches). In bowl, combine all ingredients with mixer until well blended. Pour mixture in prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle tea towel with powdered sugar and invert baked roll onto towel, gently rolling like a jelly roll. Set aside until cool, approximately 20 minutes. Unroll log, spread with filling and carefully reroll. Refrigerate. Before serving, sprinkle with a little bit of powdered sugar.

Prepare Filling:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar

Beat ingredients until very creamy.
