    Thanksgiving recipe's?

    Anyone want to share a recipe for a Thanksgiving food?
    I am not a chef, but enjoy trying foods I like in different ways.
    Not well versed in cooking, but like to eat and was single for years,
    so I know my way around the kitchen.
    I'm looking forward to having Thanksgiving with the in-laws again.
    If the menu is anything like years past, it will go something like this:
    Roast Turkey with sausage stuffing, both served cold.
    Mashed potatoes from a box mix, cold
    cold green beans
    canned cranberry "gel"
    gravy; heavy
    Beck's light (for me, or otherwise I may not show up)
    wine for my wife and her parents, and then scotch for the in-laws to wash it all down
    Oh yeah, and whatever nasty 2-day old dessert they can get at the super market.

    So bump up with some recipes so I don't have to go through Thursday with the attitude,
    "Can't wait until Black Friday!" To which I will bury myself in renovation projects, around the house, to avoid going to stores at any cost.

    We don't do Thanksgiving over here but Christmas dinner is a big thing, usually turkey or goose, whole & roasted. Served with roast potatoes, mash (from fresh), veg from; sprouts, carrots, peas, green beans, etc. chipolata sausages wrapped in streaky bacon (roasted in oven).
    Starters can be soup, melon balls, prawn cocktail
    Dessert has to be Christmas pudding with brandy sauce, hot!

          My ex used to make casseroles very similar and I'm gonna try your recipe on for size. Sounds great and I miss those as I am a frugal cook. I'm going to my brother's on Thursday, but I'll make this casserole for me and Sarah tomorrow.

            Sweet idea, love green bean casserole.
            Hey, do you ever add sliced almonds with this?
            Mmm, cranberries and pomelgranate, yum, love both of those as well.
            Any ideas to make these with low sugar, my father-in-law is diabetic?
            Thanks for the response.
