Turkey, cooked the traditional way, with stuffing (bread, poultry seasoning, celery, and onions, broth, and melted butter).

Mashed potatoes with butter and (new trick I learned) heated milk, salt, pepper, and a scoop of sour cream.

Gravy (I simmer the neck and giblets all day, but discard them before I make the gravy and just use the liquid).

Squash halves with butter and brown sugar.

Corn.

Cranberry orange relish
Cranberry sauce (made with orange zest and some bourbon, along with sugar)

Rolls

Salad

Apricot chiffon pie with whipped cream. I usually make pumpkin chiffon pie but I had a special request this year for apricot, so I am going to give it a go.

There are only three of us, and all of us eat all these things, so I think we are good with quantity.
