Default Thanksgiving food plans?

For the Americans, I mean.

This year is going to be different for us. SIL's birthday is on the day so
her mom wants her to eat at their house. We may be doing a turkey dinner at
my parent's house on the following Sat., but that's still up in the air.
Meanwhile I bought some big paper plates with turkeys on them and some
little plates with fall leaves on them. Also matching turkey napkins.

I plan to fill my largest crockpot with turkey legs for husband. Will have
to look that recipe up again. I think I just put in some onions and celery
to cook them. He likes the legs best of anything and will happily eat those
and just those. So he's covered. Will get a package or two (husband might
find it and eat it, you never know) of sliced turkey breast for Angela and
I. Will make some mashed potatoes with turkey broth and dairy free
margarine. And some gluten free gravy. Will also make a large, sugar free
Jell-O salad with cranberries, walnuts or pecans and some orange peel. Will
pop open a can or two of green beans and another of black olives. We always
have plenty of raw veggies, but might buy a few more for variety. For
dessert (I won't be eating), I will probably make something with the canned
"lite" cherry pie filling I bought for last Christmas dinner that never
happened, and some gluten free crumbs. If the crumbs are expired I will use
an oatmeal topping. Got plenty of that now after Angela won the Bob's Red
Mill gluten free products.

So an easy meal for me. None of us like big fancy meals anyway and all
husband cares about on that day is football.
