Some tasty sounding menus here. I don't have the whole menu, as my wife is doing some stuff. Partial menu includes:

Applewood smoked turkey (20# bird, about eight hours in the smoker I figure)
Homemade celery and bacon dressing
Brandied yams
Garlic mashers

No idea about the rest of the menu.

Wines to include a white Italian bubbly, la Spinetta and then whatever I feel like out of the cellar.

Mine is completely off the wall - just cooking a meal for a friend who wanted me to cook something "local"; I don't do anything on my own accord for Thanksgiving anyway so I was fine with that.

Fried aubergines in yoghurt & garlic
Coarse bulgur wheat cooked with onions, vermicelli & vegetable stock
Some sort of dough dumplings fried in olive oil with sesame & honey (found the recipe in a book with Hellenic recipes from antiquity).
Probably something else too as a starter, undecided.

Making a small turkey, about 12 pounds.
Then a crown roast of pork, which, in my opinion, makes for some dynamite presentation:


I'm making an apple stuffing, a butternut squash risotto, mashed potatoes, a bunch of other regular Thanksgivey type stuff, and some hors d'ouevres to start with. I may make some polenta, and I might make a dish featuring morel mushrooms.

The desserts should be great as well. The main one is a spicy pumpkin tart, which is just awesome.

Is your friend a vegetarian? Anyway, this sounds delicious. I'm hoping for some eggplant parm or lasagna.
