...Turkey, Sausage Stuffing,rolls...so forth. Inexpensive, but really good is what i'm shooting for. I don't know anything about wine.

Personally, I like a light red. Something that doesn't take away from the meal...a Rose'...very uncool among wine aficianados, but a nice, light, drinkable wine with a meal.
My family also enjoys Lambrusco, which is light and slightly bubbly.
Neither is expensive.
You can get them at the grocery store wine aisle.
I'm bringing some to our celebration

If you know nothing about wine the best thing to do is to choose one that you have tried before and know you like. Wine is only good if you like it. Whether you like it or not is down to your own palette, not the wine. However as a guide a good wine can be judged by the base of the bottle. The deeper the indentation the better the wine. This works for both white or red.
Don't get hung up over the wine just enjoy Thanksgiving.

I am a bartender, and I love wine, so here are my thoughts. For dinner, you should have two kinds of white wine. One sweet and one dry. Chardonnay and Reisling are your two best bets with Turkey. You may want to buy a bottle of champaigne or desert wine as an after dinner drink. Try Oliver Soft Red Wine. It's very sweet. Make sure with your white wine you chill it for at least 2 hours prior to serving, otherwise it won't taste right.
Try Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay (it's like 6 or 7 dollars), and any reisling brand should be good.
If you decide on the Champaigne, just make sure you get the Asti. It's the sweeter champagne, it's the opposite of Brut. I personally like the Asti better.
Good Luck.

Here's a guide on that very subject!

My own opinion is that if you have a lot of rich food, gravy, potatoes, drink a good red wine- you'll need something to cut through all that richness. Serve a nice white wine afterwards, or with dessert. If you really want to go a bit overboard, have a small glass of Port wine to finish things off- it's rich, sweet and strong and goes well with cheddar cheese and crackers.

I usually serve pink champagne or a Rose wine. White wine is too light for a rich Thanksgiving feast and Red wine is too heavy. So, I settle for a Rose.

Forget wine, have some Tropicana premimum grapefruit juice not from concentrate and Tropicana premimum apple juice not from concentrate.
They are much more refreshing, heathier and low priced then wine.

A medium or sweet bubbly. Lindauer sec, or Asti Ricadonna

White wine for white meat, red wine for red meat.
