Lefse.  It's like a potato flatbread.  You can find it in a grocery store, or find a recipe online pretty easily.

This is neither a joke nor a riddle, but hey...\n\nMAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,\nMAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.\nMAY YOUR POTATOES AND GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP.\nMAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS,\nMAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,\nMAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.

Jewel and Dominick both sell pre-made turkey's, but you have to order them ahead to time.  Pumpkin pie is at any store or frozen, I like Baker's Square.  Cranberry comes in a can, applesauce in a jar.  The stuffing can be ordered with the turkey as can the mashed potatoes and gravey.  Get some dinner rolls and a bottle of wine.  There you are.

I'm Italian so we tweaked the traditional American Menu so here it is.................\nTURKEY (of course) now to make it interesting my mom de-bones her turkey & stuffs it with a more italian like stuffing of wild rice mushrooms & spinach. Its tender and delicious\n\nMASHED POTATOES this I make with roasted garlic & chives a must have\n\nSTUFFING this is more traditional not actually stuffed into the turkey. \n\nBROCCOLINNI which are a green italian vegetable, very good.\n\nGREEN BEANS another american tradition, but we put our own twist on it with garlic & olive oil, and best thing is these are fresh grown in our own garden!\n\nPASTA our table always has a pasta on it either with a sauce or in the form of a soup. This year we are making gnocci a very yummy potatoe based pasta with a roasted tomato sauce.\n\nCRANBERRY SALAD made with fresh cranberies, pineapple & nuts real good.\n\nSWEET POTATOES in the oven.\n\nPUMPKIN PIE, BLACK BOTTOM BANANA PIE, CHOCOLATE SILK PIE (something for everyone) tons of holiday cookies too!!\n\nCHESTNUTS after dinner & dessert we roast chestnuts and eat them this is a huge family tradition!\n\nThis is Thanksgiving Italian-American Style

The most incredibly perfect Thanksgiving Dinner consists of these delights - jellied cranberry sauce, hot and creamy baked corn, green bean cassarole, homemade buttermilk biscuits, an inanely juicy turkey that slides off the bone, a light gravy for both the turkey and the biscuits, extra sugrey candied yams (yum!), potato salad made with spicy paprika and celery seed, and some hot spiced cider to drink.  And you can't forget that side of pumpkin pie for dessert!  If that's not perfect, then I seriously don't know what would be!

Sounds perfect to me...I am NOT a Pumpkin Pie, Mince Meat Pie, or Apple pie freak....a Lemon Merangue sound great. There is no reason to think that other things do not work for eating at Thanksgiving. I am thinking of making a cake this year instead of pie...hell, who has room for all this stuff anyway? Good luck (please make to of them, send me one...I love Lemon !

Tofu Turkey also called 'Tofurky' can be purchased at many natural food grocery stores. This is an easy vegetarian alternative.\n\nIf you want to cook a tofu turkey from scratch\nVegweb offers a nice tofu turkey recipe. \n\nIf you want to offer something different than tofu turkey, \na tasty alternative I suggest is Lightlife ""Gimme Lean Sausage"which can be used to make a fantastic Thanksgiving vegetarian dish. The recipe is called 'baked butternut squash stuffed with apples and "fake' sausage'. \n\nMambo Sprouts  E-Newsletter offers a 'Thanksgiving Holiday Guide' with this great meatless- vegetarian recipe, other recipes include vegetarian or meat included appetizers, side dishes, main dishes, dessert recipes, and wellness tips in a free pdf download.\n\nMeatless Mondays offers a nice bean dish recipe that would be a nice vegetarian alternative. Three-Bean "Cassoulet"
