Just me and two grown children this year, so I am experimenting a bit. I'm going to cut up the turkey and begin roasting the legs & thighs first, then half-way through the time, add the breast meat. Maybe add onion, celery, carrots, too.
Also trying a new potato casserole, little cubes with cheese & ranch dressing.
My son is bringing "a green bean thingy", which is probably not 'that' casserole with fried onions - I can't wait to see what it is. I actually like the green bean-mushroom soup-fried onion concoction and will miss it.
Gravy using stock from the cut-up turkey backbone and such. I'll probably make that today (Tuesday).
A little can of jellied cranberry sauce - for me. It's a hard habit to break.
Rolls & butter.
For dessert, peanut butter pie on Oreo crust by request. I'm considering making a small batch of peanut butter fudge and pouring it on the crust before adding the filling; that might make the crust soggy, though, so I'm still thinking. And from my dog-eared index card collection, cherry pie filling with cake mix and butter sprinkled on top.
