[Mamie_85]

mashed potatoes

gravy

green bean casserole

rolls

cranberries

Stuffing

pumpkin pie

That's probably the most traditional side dishes.

This is what we usually have:

Turkey/ham/turducktin (I think that's how that's spelled)

Corn

Sweet potato casserole

Green bean casserole

Rolls

Some sort of desert like pumpkin pie, pecan pie/whip cream

Umm...

Drinks

I think that's about it for us....someone usually brings some other weird dish too. 

Mashed potatoes/gravy

Def. this and we always had sweet potatoe casserole too.

 

 

Quoting Mamie_85:

mashed potatoes

gravy

green bean casserole

rolls

cranberries

Stuffing

pumpkin pie

That's probably the most traditional side dishes.

Green bean casserole, ranch mashed potatoes, whipped sweet potato's with marshmallows on top. I usually go on food network and pick out some things that look good on there to make. This year I am making for dessert paula deans gingerbread trifle which is sooo good and easy.

 My familys stuffing gets rave reviews, you can give it a try.

The night before:

Set out bread to get that "stale" look (a 1/2 to a whole loaf depending on the # of people)

Chop up apples, celery, onions, and put in seprate containers till the next day

The next day:

Cook 1 lb of pork sasuage, tear up the bread, and mix it in, as well as the chopped up veggies, and fruit from the night before. Add 1 egg, and cook till its kinda mushy. Then either stuff your turkey with it, or eat it as is. =)
