Just turkey here, but we have a small group and we all prefer the sides.

Just turkey. Ham is for Christmas and those other things are for any time. Although I will say that when we eat my brother's house, they serve both turkey and ham. But that's not what we serve when we make it ours.

We only serve turkey when we host but usually have shrimp cocktail out as an appetizer. We aren't hosting today, and my SIL has a turkey and ham prepared. It's a large crowd, so it's not a sit down meal.

Turkey is my choice but it depends on which children are here if I add a ham to the menu. One does not eat turkey.

Turkey only for Thanksgiving unless you count the sausage that's in the stuffing.

We have turkey and ham but we don't cook a whole turkey. We cook a turkey breast only; no one really likes the dark meat.

Just turkey now, but when I was growing up, we always had boiled shrimp as an appetizer.
For Christmas, we always had ham and lasagna.

Always turkey, depending on how many guests we sometimes add a ham.

We do turkey only. When we did Thanksgiving with my Dad's side, it was ham because we usually did it a few days later. DH told me about his Dad's aunt who makes this big feast that included turkey, prime rib, and lobster or shrimp.

We usually just have turkey but depending on which guests are coming we might do a ham as well since a couple of the guys don't eat turkey.

I was brought up only eating turkey on Thanksgiving, but DH was brought up having turkey and ham. It has always been a bone of contention between us. Not really, but I like only having turkey and then only having ham for Christmas.

We've always just had turkey, but this year my sister wanted a ham, too. So I checked both. I probably won't touch the ham tonight, but the leftovers (and bone!) are all mine. |

Just turkey, but I have a great story about thanksgiving lasagna! My papa went to a girl's house for thanksgiving (before he met my grannie). The family happened to be Italian and when he sat down to eat he was served lasagna. He figured that was their tradition and he happily gorged himself on it. Just as he thought dinner was done and he couldn't eat another bite, the turkey with all of the trimmings came out of the oven! The lasagna was just the beginning! I just loved when he would tell me this story every Thanksgiving and this thread totally reminded me of it, so thanks . ETA : This was his first Thanksgiving after being a POW in a German war camp for over a year. He was very happy to oblige his host and eat. |
