It’s that time of year when many celebrate with their families with a wonderful feast. Well, those that know us, know that we love food and we love giving thanks to this amazing community of people. So this is a perfect opportunity to launch our 13th Annual Thanksgiving contest and do this one around those incredible feasts that are being served.
We are kicking this one off a bit early in the week as we know some start working on this incredible meal or even host it, ahead of time.
The Rules
Take a picture of your Thanksgiving feast.
Post it below.
The Thanksgiving Contest Open to anybody that is a member of the THP forum.
The winner will be chosen randomly.
Please feel free to post as many pictures as you would like. You can post pics of prep work, full feasts, individual dishes, etc. Show it all off.
The Prize
The winner will get an incredible THP Prize Pack that is filled with goodies.
Contest will run until Sunday 11/26//23 at 11:59pm EST.
Good luck everybody and we cannot wait to see the thanksgiving feast pictures.
Viewing this thread alone puts 10lbs on me. Always look forward to it and this year will be no different!

Love seeing all to wonderful food pics. This is awesome.

I hope you and your family like it. I have had friends ask to buy one from me for the holidays, it’s that good, and while a few steps, pretty damn easy to make.
While ours isn’t an impressive presentation, it all tastes good…except for the cranberry salad/jello thing, that’s just foul.
I will take a few ?
Already getting concerned that my bird isn’t thawing quickly enough. Actions might need to be taken if it isn’t ready for the brine tomorrow afternoon.
I will be heading to the grocery store in about an hour to do my shopping. I was supposed to go yesterday but we had some concerns about in-laws being sick, but we seem to be in the clear now.
Can’t wait to see the spreads. Small gathering Thursday and the big one is going down on Saturday.

You know you can put it in brine frozen, right? It’ll actually help the thaw. Just make sure you can remove the giblets first.

I typically do that, but can’t get the giblets out just yet.

I went Sunday morning as I didn’t want to mess with the masses. Although I do need to go back for whip cream.
Love seeing all the pictures! Got some peanut oil yesterday.

This time of the year always causes me to gain 10 virtual pounds…
Costco pies purchased yesterday! Going to the Little Apple to do Thanksgiving at brother/sister in laws.
16 of us this year. I feel for my wife cooking. It will be a feast.

Same with us … empty nesters
can’t wait to see some good food
Always fun to follow this thread.
20lb bird (Been in the fridge since Sat morning) so the brine starts tonight so that it can sit in the fridge and dry the skin out tomorrow night before going on the Grilla on Thursday. Still undecided if going spatchcock or frog style.
This is always a fun thread. I am in charge of frying a turkey and smoking the ham. Will send pictures for the contest!
Looking forward to the photos.
Talked my oldest son into going shopping for me yesterday as I’m busy at work and honestly, I probably would have lost my shit at the mob scene in the grocery store. Although seeing people fighting over the last can of cranberry sauce might have been amusing.
He did great and got everything on my list except for unsalted butter. He bought this instead. What the eff am I supposed to use this crap for? His response “it said unsalted and was near the butter ????” Friggin teenagers.

I just read an article about what foods cardiologists say you should avoid at Thanksgiving. As a result, there will be nothing to take a picture of other than a bowl of plain vegetables and a couple slices of turkey without gravy. :LOL:
First year in forever me and [USER=52644]@Nessinator[/USER] are not hosting Thanksgiving. I’m playing golf instead and couldn’t be happier.
We’re just doing a picnic lunch on one of the beaches in Los Cabos, probably featuring some ceviche from a Dorado we caught earlier.
Well, the pecans are going to have to wait until tomorrow, the day just got away from me.
Question..
If you don’t have Turkey. Are you disqualified?

So you’re saying the 8 sticks of butter and 8 cups of cheese that I need is not heart healthy for a single meal? ?

Curious what all the cans are bottom right though? Dog food, maybe?

I really chuckle when I read these types of articles. Butter, gravy and salt are three major food groups for me on Thanksgiving.

Now that you mention it, I think I remember the pics. It’s been a rough year so I forget quite a few details lately ?
Cornbread made and now cut into cubes for the stuffing and will sit in the oven to dry out overnight.
