Damn, I have a recipe from Food and Wine that we've used for the last 3 Thanksgivings, but I don't remember what the rules are for posting recipes and copyrights.
I'll just post the link to the recipe, I guess you could use the brine recipe for oven roasting too, rather than deep-frying it, like this recipe suggests (although I've never had a juicier flavorful turkey than this) (we use peanut oil, and an electric turkey fryer)
Deep-Fried Turkey Brined in Cayenne and Brown Sugar

It's all about turkeys for us. Once a year turkey fest....this year will do 1 smoked, 1 baked and 2 or 3 fried. Oh and of course since the smokers lit, will throw in some ribs.
To change things up a bit on side dishes, will shift the dressing to a homemade cornbread jalapeno based dressing recipe which I put together few weeks ago. Plus some shrimp stuffed bacon wrapped jalapenos.
Then the usual - green bean casserole, fruit salad, a spinach casserole, some sweet potato casserold and of course 3 or 4 pies and plenty of libations for the family.
Plenty of food for the day plus 2 or 3 days of leftovers.

Cranberry sorbet, pumpkin bread, and turkey gravy made ahead of time from deep, delectable stock is what I'll be bringing to help out at my mom's for Thanksgiving feast. (I'll be adding the drippings from her roast turkey to the gravy by the by.)

This is the first year in about 10 that I will not be hosting the Thanksgiving dinner. (feels kind of odd) I will be firing up the smoker this weekend to smoke a brisket or 2, as well as some "stock" for the freezer for later usage.

@ Ribster what is that shrimp stufferd jalepeno thingy about, care to share the recipe please? I get very anal w/the turkey brining it 48 hrs before hand, The brining recipe I can't seem to remember who I got it from, either Martha Stewart or Alton Brown. But this year we are going to try something all the way different and order a Turdunken (sp), can't wait to try this one, never had before. But with that I usually serve the ususal stuff dressing, gravy, yadda yadda, nothing special. Now for the holidays in December, that is a whole different ballgame

Have lots of people to help you eat that Turducken! Even a small one is a lot of food but boy, are they delicious!

Couldn't help but leave a link here to my most recent post....it doesn't include recipes, and it's a rather non-traditional, pre-Thanksgiving post, but I thought you would all really enjoy it!!!

Cranberry Sauce.
Open can. Dump on plate, and slice.
I'm sorry. If you serve cranberry sauce, and made it yourself, it just won't cut it. We're talking the one thing that does come from a can, that can beat that mess your aunt brings to the feast. That stuff just doesn't remind of those Thanksgiving days as a child in the 70s.
I guess what I am saying, is i'm nostalgic. If my cranberry sauce doesn't have can ridges, and isn't sliced in a circle shape, it's just not the same. Nobody I know likes the homestyle kind, and that just seems wrong. I swear to the man up above. We hold Thanksgiving at my house every year, and I also stop by my friends to visit. At every single stop, the stuff in the can is always gone, and the home style cranberry sauce is barely touched at all.

Last week I experimented with Jamie Oliver's roasted stuffed turkey. While I didn't care for the turkey itself, the stuffing used was incredible! It's not a traditional cornbread stuffing so I wouldn't consider it a replacement for that kind of stuffing, but more of a 'condiment' for the bird.
I plan on brining a turkey and stuffing it with Jamie's stuffing. I'll have to have the traditional stuffing as well and the usual green bean casserole for the picky family members. Due to popular demand, I'll also have to make more of the caramel pumpkin pie that I just made 16 of last week. I better start cooking!
The stuffing recipe can be found here for those interested:
