I found some briskets on sale at Super 1 Foods in Greenville this week for $1.97 with a $25 purchase, if anyone is looking. I've also had my sights set on making some mini pecan/chocolate pies or a pecan/chocolate cheesecake. I really wish I could come across some good tamales as well.

I was going to fry a Turkey until I saw the price of peanut oil yesterday. No Turkey is worth that. We are now going to smoke a bird instead.

jerp · 11-22-2022, 03:44 PM

We got away from turkey last year - I put a whole beef tenderloin on the kamado and everybody loved it. Still had some traditional Thanksgiving sides but I have not heard anyone suggest we go back to turkey.

Javelin · 11-22-2022, 03:45 PM

I will just eat a deer burger no bun and some broccoli. I will be all alone

Shane · 11-22-2022, 03:46 PM

Best ever was 2013. I made desert bighorn carne guisada. It was fantastic, and just cool. Gonna smoke a brisket this year.

toastie · 11-22-2022, 05:26 PM

I'm smoking a turkey, but Kroger also has rib roast on sale for $5/lb

RedYote · 11-23-2022, 02:08 PM

I shot that deer on the 12th and its been vacuum sealed wet aging in the fridge since. Ill probably let the backstraps go another week or so but that tenderloin was ready.

deerslayer64d · 11-23-2022, 02:11 PM

For us it will be the traditional turkey with all the side dishes, then sitting by the phone hoping we get the call to come hunt my sons 150 ��. HAPPY Thanksgiving all !

rut-ro · 11-23-2022, 03:17 PM

I am working but one of our Drs will bring us a couple plates

That’s from about 45 minutes ago, still got about an hour left.

They’ll be a hit like they always are.

Why the night before? Do you reheat them tomorrow before serving?

We go to my youngest brother’s house for Thanksgiving and usually get there around noon. It’s easier to cook them the night before and then reheat them in the morning instead of waking up overly early on a day off and spend several hours cooking them the same day.

They turn out fine. Inject them with Tony’s Creole Butter, they don’t come close to ending up dry and there’s basically nothing left after it’s all said and done, which says something because there’s 3 turkeys there every year. One smoked, obviously in the picture, mom roasts one and brother fries one.

Kingfisher789 · 11-23-2022, 08:49 PM

Pies. Pies and milk. And turkey.

Drycreek3189 · 11-23-2022, 09:02 PM

Cornish game hens, dressing, sweet taters, giblet gravy, smashed taters, broccoli rice casserole, rolls, pecan pie, buttermilk pie, coconut pie, chocolate pie.

Did I mention pie ?

Bucknaked · 11-23-2022, 09:03 PM

Liver and onions with Luke warm butter milk

PeePaw on Fork · 11-23-2022, 09:10 PM

Double smoked ham with chicken and dressing

tpack · 11-24-2022, 08:46 AM

We had ours last night so everyone could be there. These are the desserts my wife fixed. We also had spiral ham, cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, broccoli rice casserole, corn, black-eyed peas, mashed potatoes and rolls.
No turkey.... I finally convinced my wife not to have it since no one eats it. I got a free one at HEB with my spiral ham and we gave it to our neighbor who fry's one every year.

DUKFVR · 11-24-2022, 08:55 AM

Pork chops, black eye peas, mac and cheese and rice from Esters soul food!

Country Thanksgiving here. Possum shanks with goose liver gravy!

TxMedic · 11-24-2022, 10:16 AM

Smoked a turkey yesterday. Decided to throw on some fajitas for dinner last night as well.

Smoking a turkey and wife is boiling a shank ham.

Sams in Fairfield.

Box-R · 11-24-2022, 11:05 AM

Since rain was forecast (that is a cool covered smoker, br !), I smoked a brisket last night for about 4-1/2 hours, then put it in the oven overnight at 225 F. Wow, the smell almost kept me up all night; gave it a taste early this AM and it is probably my best ever. Add in the usual Thanksgiving sides... can't wait.

Chew · 11-24-2022, 11:54 AM

My spatchcocked smoked turkey is sitting at 153 on the rec tec smoker. Wife has a ham inside with all the sides warming up. Probably going to eat at 11:30 and I can't wait.

Only way to smoke a turkey, they come out juicy and light smoke!

TeamAmerica · 11-24-2022, 02:53 PM

Brisket, charro beans, dressing, mashed tators, Brussel sprouts. A true cornucopia!

Sil was making the pies but they caught flu so switching to cookies and ice cream sandwiches at the last minute!

Very thankful!
