My family had traditional turkey with stuffing, extra pans of dressing, gravy, homemade mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, roots n berries (a baked yam dish with fresh or frozen cranberries), fresh baked biscuits, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert. This year we couldn't find fresh or frozen cranberries so we used blackberries and blueberries... wow they sure made the yams turn purple. Our tradition is to have supper about 3 in the afternoon eating till we are so stuffed we could pop and then have dessert sometime before bedtime when we've recovered from the turkey "coma".:-)

Hope you enjoyed yourself, your meal sounds delicious. I had dinner at my mother's house, we had to wait for my sister to bring most of the food, my mother only cooked the turkey. We did not eat until around four. we had: turkey, stuffing with sausage and without sausage, candied yams, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, cranberry sauce, rice, gravy, roasted pumpkin squash, turnips, dinner rolls, pasta salad and collard greens, and string beans, I think that is all, may have forgotten something, there was so much food. For dessert there was holiday cookies, apple pie, pumpkin pie, spice cake with whipped cream. I only cookies for dessert. Then we went to my husband's friends house, and there was another feast. They had: Turkey, ham, fried chicken, turkey wings, gravy, stuffing, homemade bread, cranberry sauce, collard greens, rice and much more. There was pumpkin pie, pound cake and a coconut pineapple cake for dessert. It was a very enjoyable day, hope yours was too.
