Flowerbug, I'm technology challenged so I just wrote it out on a piece of paper! Love being old fashioned, haha.

I'll be making the turkey, potatoes, gravy, rolls, and roasted veggies. Tomorrow I'll make a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie. My daughter will bring a green salad and my other daughter's boyfriend will bring a pot roast. His parents are coming over for the first time and his dad will make his delicious lima beans and bring a dessert.

This year I am being more organized to not be stressed. Trying to make as much as I can ahead of time and just have it in the fridge ready to go in the oven.

I only have one oven so will have to use my son's oven downstairs.

That sounds like a good plan fixing parts of Turkey Day menu a few days ahead.

Here is my turkey out of the bird stuffing recipe, in pictures with some labels:
Sweet Italian sausage (ALDI carries this out of the casings, and the seasoning is lovely!)
Cooked with 2 large onions in a skillet.
Seasoned the bread cubes with sage. UNfortunately I had to cheat bc my sage died.
Mixed the sausage and onions with the bread cubes.
Mixed in one full quart of my turkey broth.
Bake in the over in bread pans, appoximately 30 minutes. Use a toothpick or knife to see if it's done.
You can adapt by covering with aluminum foil or cooking longer.
PLEASE make some turkey broth! It tastes SO much better than any stuff you can buy for stuffing.

One Winter Sweet Squash with enough for 2 more or, a Butternut Bevy for 3 and 1 more pie or ..

Got a little ahead of the camera with the knife and the apple pie. It was piled so high I felt the need to slice into it to be sure it was cooked. Honestly!

I always make a traditional Thanksgiving feast, these years with just chicken and turkey parts (pasture-raised from Northstar Bison) rather than a whole turkey that we used to get. Still with the side dishes, I make enough to eat for the week of Thanksgiving, and to freeze some for the week of Christmas until New Years. I make bread stuffing with cut-up giblets, onions, garlic, and celery baked in a separate pan with juice from the bird parts, winter squash, mashed potatoes, green peas, and cranberry sauce.

This year my nephew and his new wife may be visiting, so I might cook extra, and probably make a pie of some kind.

A year ago on some forum, completely unrelated to cooking (perhaps technology or politics) someone asked the off-topic question of what everyone planned to eat at Thanksgiving. Most replies were the usual fare, but one guy said his mother always made a tourtiere (French Canadian meat pie) and he posted her recipe. It sounded intriguing so I followed the recipe, not for Thanksgiving but some weeks later, and it was beyond delicious! Definitely that is a dish I will be making again even if not on "turkey day."

Lingonberries I’ve just learned about these berries . Curious what they tast like. I’ve heard they taste similar to cranberries.

They are apparently good if you have diabetes. I wasn't impressed but I suppose it's how you prepare them.
