I'll be having Thanksgiving dinner aboard the Star Princess outside of Alexandria Egypt. Just sayin. But my family tradition was what most Midwesterners have said above, with the addition of scalloped corn, and a fairly new addition of a Polish cabbage and noodles dish my sister learned when she married a Polish guy from Chicago.
But for you dry turkey haters, seriously, only badly cooked turkey is dry. Turkey only has to not be raw, not cooked to dust to be safe to eat. Turn down the oven and don't put it in at o'dark 30 and your turkey will be great. If you go to
www.butterball.com it will give you an exactly correct gauge for cooking your turkey.
I love me some deep fried turkey but my family would never allow one moment of stray off the nearly 50 years of same same. Not on Thanksgiving anyway.
Oh, and I love the cranberries with the ring lines. It's not FOOD, but I still love it.
