My wife and I rarely cook turkey for Thanksgiving. This year we’re coming Cornish hens. In previous years we’ve cooked duck, leg of lamb, and rib roast. It’s not that we don’t like turkey, but there are lots of other things that I think I’d prefer eating.

Are you cooking something other than turkey this year? Or maybe preparing your turkey in a non-traditional way?

    Normally I smoke a turkey, duck, or pork roast. But this year we have canceled Thanksgiving and probably will Christmas too. Just not enough funds to justify the cost of a big dinner for 3 people.

      Similar situation here. There’s two of us and my SOs veg kids. It doesn’t make sense to make a lot of anything.

      Turkey is bland anyway, and I don’t want to be eating one for two weeks.

      Definitely feel that. I just got a little ham steak and some sides I’m doing just for me this year. Not doing anything for Xmas. I’ll be recovering from a surgery, yay!
