No question about it, the stuffing. Has to be homemade, with lots of onions. And slathered with homemade gravy (my mom's recipe).

Next, mashed potatoes, similarly slathered.

The turkey is only important for 2 reasons: (1) without the turkey, there wouldn't be pan drippings to serve as the base for the gravy. and (2) you need the turkey for the sandwiches for the the rest of the Thanksgiving weekend.

Pies are good, especially apple with real vanilla ice cream. But so are brownie sundaes - got to get some chocolate in there somewhere...

Happy eating, everyone!

I'm sorry to buck your line, but I think what happens in Vegas when the result wasn't anticipated (like a rainout) is officially a "no bet" so your money is returned. Anyway, I have to vote for the post Thanksgiving massive, ridiculous Turkey sandwich. It goes something like this:

A sturdy bread to hold up to the food. either a Jewish rye or a rustic ciabatta type thing. Turkey on bottom, followed by a spoonful of gravy. Thin layers of potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, a spoon or two of gravy. Cranberries next, perhaps some yam too. A spoon gravy. Top it with a nice piece of turkey skin, put the 2nd slice of bread on, and give it a nice squeeze. My preference is to microwave it, but it can be enjoyed cold. Find a glass of whatever wine was left over from yesterday, and enjoy.

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash!

Pie is a first for me (or fresh home baked bread from scratch); turkey and gravy is a close second.
