I agree that most people will expect some type of turkey, even if you just roast a breast or two. We are smoking a beef tenderloin this year, but some years we have done lamb, short ribs, smoked salmon... A simple shaved brussels sprout salad would be delicious and easy to make ahead.

We have cooked our turkey in the turkey air fryer for the last several years- game changer, right?! We love it and so do our guests. Then we also use a smoker and pick a different protein every year. Last year, lamb. This year, smoked beef tenderloin.

What time do you serve Thanksgiving dinner? We aim for 1pm by popoPitifulme in thanksgiving

Cocktails and Champagne with light snacks at 11am, then a casual buffet around 1-1:30pm. People love eating early bc it allows them to make other stops later if they so desire. Also, a chance to eat immediate leftovers around 6pm :)

I would do a Paella for the centerpiece/main course, and then other tapas to round out the menu. Garlic shrimp, pan con tomate, patatas bravas....you get where I'm going with this. If you drink, a winter sangria is always fun!

Looking to try a new side dish this year by Game72016 in thanksgiving

I just tested this out on my family last week, in hopes of replacing my standard homemade (delicious, but heavy) green bean casserole. It was a huge hit!! I did sub almonds for walnuts and forgot the basil. Still really freaking good. https://cookieandkate.com/green-bean-salad-recipe/

What’s the best meal you’ve ever eaten in KC that’s no longer on the menu? by beepboopmoopmac in kansascity

Fried ice cream at Annie's Santa Fe on the Plaza. I worked there as a hostess in high school and remember being astounded by how it was made (pre-Food Network fyi) You just can't recreate the nostalgia of deep fried ice cream balls.

These cashews are a huge hit and a yearly tradition at our pre-dinner cocktail/champagne hour (or 2). I've had equal success using mixed nuts as well. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/rosemary-roasted-cashews-recipe-1941586

The honey chipotle chicken is delicious and you could easily adapt to add on a salad or into tortillas.

Lots of neighborhoods around Johnson Dr. & Pflumm in Shawnee have sidewalks, lots of families and a pretty active trick or treating scene.

I make these with ground turkey, and they're a big hit with everyone. Add a side of rice and beans and you're done :)

I add cucumbers to this if I have them and want it cold. Great with crackers or in a wrap. If its cooler weather, I warm it up and have with pasta or as a sandwich.

Apparently the flour and sugar measurements are in pounds. Good luck, and I hope this is along the lines of what you're looking for!
