Make some fantasy fudge!  It is so easy!  \n\n3 cups of Sugar\n1 Jar of marshmellow cream\n3/4 (1/2 sticks) of butter\n5 oz of evaporated milk\n1 1/2 bags of semi-sweet chocolate chips\n1 tbs vanilla\n  \nBring sugar, Butter, and milk to a boil in saucepan.  make sure you stir it the intire time so it doesnt burn.  As soon as it starts to boil, remove from heat and stir in marshmellow cream, chocolate chips, vanilla, and whatever nuts you wanna put in if any.  After they chocolate is meted spread immeditely in foil- lined pan.  Let set for a few hours and then let them set in the fridge for a few hours so you can cut it up.  If you dont put in the fridge it will be too soft!  Good Luck and enjoy!

To make it simple, you could get two Cornish game hens!  Use some prepared stuffing, and get any other dishes at a deli that you could warm up.  Throwing the birds into the oven isn't hard, and you could still have a real dinner.  Besides, kids like having a miniature "turkey" of their own!  And you would get to smell that good aroma for awhile!\n\nMost supermarkets have such a variety of prepared foods these days.  And many have a salad bar type thing that you can buy just what you want.  \n\nIt is hard to be away from family on holidays, but call them and have a visit that way.  Just make it a special day for you and your daughter.  I'm sure being that pregnant, you would feel more comfortable being home than to eat out anyway.  Rent a couple of movies.  Watch the parade on TV. \n\nGood luck with the new baby!

Turkey and ham should be plenty, but if you are worried buy a turkey breast and cook it the day before. You'll have lots of white meat that way.

For Thanksgiving, my boyfriend is coming over.  I have no CLUE how to make a turkey, and I'm not fond of ham (unless my Mom makes it).\n\nI'm cooking:\n\nScallops in a Mascarpone Sauce\nLentils with Apple Bacon and an Apple Cider Reduction\nTruffled Red Wine Risotto\nBok Choy with Garlic\nCauliflower fried in Duck Fat

How about a turkey breast? Stove top stuffing, mashed potato and bottled gravy (or canned). Jello with miniature marshmallows, green bean casserole and a really good bottle of wine. Get a bake it at home frozen pumpkin pie for later though you'll need to bake it the night before. A can of whipped cream and don't worry about stuff!!

LOL----got a couple picky eaters in your crowd?\n\nHere's a couple options:  (A)  Thanksgiving gets stuffing selection 1, chosen by coin toss----you serve the other option with the Christmas/winter feast turkey.\n\n(B)  Opt for something completely different....but still Southern.  How about a RICE dressing for the bird, with or without fruits/ vegetables?  (MMMmmmm---sauteed onions, celery, nice plump raisins or cranberries....mushrooms are optional)  Or rice and the turkey giblets (URRRRK!), supplemented by chicken livers (ACKFFHLLLFFFF).\n\n(C)  Make a rule that everyone who complains about the stuffing (whatever you end up choosing, strictly by random) has to do dishes, clean up, etc.!   \n\n(D)  Don't suppose you could tell them that you're giving up Thanksgiving turkey for Lent (that ought to stun them into silence for a minute ot two), and that they're going to eat lamb or venison and LIKE it, or else? (g)    \n\nBut don't let my silly prejudices get in your way. \n  \nEither the family will compromise, or they will ALL join together in cussing you out.....in which case, make them take you out to dinner at a restaurant! (g)\n\nOysters....why did it have to be OYSTERS?....  I do SO not want to eat anything that looks like I just suctioned it from a patient's airway, thank you very much....\n\nWe solved the matter by sticking to bread stuffing, but having lovely corn muffins/cornbread on the table.\n\nHave a great meal!

Go to the library and take out a children's book on "The First Thanksgiving" between the indians and the pilgrims.\n\nIt's the way they first made friends!!!!   The indians invited the english to their bountiful "harvest".

TURKEY\n\nCranberry sauce out of the can, stuffing, corn, wild rice, sunflower seed soup, baked potatoes, gravy, fry bread, green beans, peas, yams.\n\nVeggie tray: black olives, green olives, baby carrots, celery w/cream cheese, green onions, pomegranite seeds, radishes, cauliflower.\n\nBlueberry pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie.\n\nWe use old family recipes on the wild rice and the sunflower seed soup, everything else is pretty basic.

Serve whatever you want. It doesn't have to be turkey. Do you like ham, pork, chicken, beef, ethnic foods? Figure out what you like and be creative with it. \n\nYou could even do heavy appetizers from the frozen section of Costco/Sam's. They are hearty enough that people can easily make a meal out of them.

Here's what I'm serving:  homemade "turkey" roast made from Tofu.  Several recipes are available on the web (or you can buy tofurkery or unturkey (made from gluten), both of which are good).  Glazed brussel sprouts, roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, stuffing, mushroom gravey and maybe another dish if I have the energy.\n\nI disagree with the answer that you should cook turkey for your non-vegetarian friends.  Just tell them before hand that it's a vegetarian thanksgiving, and if they can't live without turkey, let them get it elsewhere.\n\nEnjoy!

Only the desserts.  There is nothing worst  than reheated stuff for the big day.   It would be like leftovers for  Thanksgiving.  You'll do  fine if  you can line up some help for Thanksgiving to help you with the side dishes.  I agree with the poster that gravy and rolls should  be done shortly before the meals is served.  The only thing that I do ahead of time is season the Turkey  and chop the onions and celery for the stuffing/dressing.
