Are you kidding? I guess you're not from the western hemisphere. Heinz
ketchup is my favorite condiment to eat with just about anything. I am
not a fan of ham, but I do sometimes eat it, always with ketchup. Turkey
is one of my favorites, and it benefits from ketchup too. My dad's a big
mustard fan, so that's always on the table too. Very common with turkey
is cranberry sauce. You can buy cranberry sauce already made in cans or
jars, but a lot of people make it themselves. Some people prefer
something very sweet with their ham, such as a thick sweet sauce which
is often based on pineapple juice, but usually, the ham is cooked with
the sauce on it.

I know several people who do not use any condiments with turkey or ham,
but they are in the minority.

Sometimes, homemade gravy is the only condiment you need with turkey.

================================

So are those who use catsup and mustard on turkey!

ERP!

(Yes, we know your proclivity, Stan, but one shouldn't give the impression
that it's common)

Gravy, of course, and most often, some type of cranberry sauce/relish.

Naturally there's gravey (but I don't consider gravy a condiment).
With turkey I recommend a horseradish-mayo sauce... some like ketchup
but I think that's more to cover the flavor of turkey rather than
complement.

Nothing goes so well with ham (hot or cold) as mustard, and there are
many types but preferably not typical yellow ballpark style, a grainy
brown honey mustard is nice, the horseradish-mayo sauce goes well with
cold ham, there are also many fruit sauces, ie. pineapple-raisin ....
ketchup with ham (or with any cured/smoked meat) is an abomination,
means you are afflicted with taste in ass disease.

Step 1 - is this want you mean?

condiment
[KON-duh-ment]
A savory, piquant, spicy or salty accompaniment to food, such as a relish,
sauce, mixture of spices and so on. Ketchup and mustard are two of the most
popular condiments.

COMPANION, 2nd edition, by Sharon Tyler Herbst

Step 2

For turkey I would think that cranberry based relishishes or jelly would
probably be the most popular. Although based upon the definition the strffing
may also be concidered a condiment. The number of recipes is endless.

Step 3

For a baked ham very little comes to mind although a raisin sauce is very common
in many parts of the country. I do like to spike mine with some mustard.

Step 4

There are also a gazillion home made relishes like a corn relish or a chow chow
that may also be served as a side

In my mother's house, turkey is served with stuffing, cranberry sauce,
and giblet gravy, along with lots of side dishes. Ham is served with a
sweet gravy made by cooking the ham with pineapple and cloves.

Hello again,

Thanks to all for the wonderful response! I'm Asian and we don't usually
celebrate Christmas the way you all do so I'm really clueless about the
food culture except for the general facts.

Well a traditional Christmas turkey dinner usually involves cranberry
sauce, turkey Gravy. Some of the side dishes might have their own
sauces as well. For example scalloped potatoes.

Now I'm not sure if stuffing/dressing (made in the cavity of the bird
or not) is considered a condiment or a side dish, but that is what a
lot of the gravy is used on.

On my ex MIL's table at Christmas there was always dill pickle spears
chow-chow and pickled onions.

This is better if you use 1/2 regular sugar and 1/2 brown sugar.

Cranberry sauce made from fresh cranberries tastes so much nicer than
the canned sauce. It's really easy to make too.

Stuffing is considered an *essential* here So is gravy.

Other things that make it to our table for Thanksgiving or Christmas
turkey dinners a mashed potatoes, corn, squash, green beans, pickled
beets, dill pickles, bread & butter pickles, homemade bread. When we
have turkey other times of the year I put out less sticking mainly to
potatoes, stuffing, cranberries, gravy, turkey.

It's very easy to make, and I do make it when the occasion calls for it,
but I always find the homemade stuff kind of bitter. I think the canned
stuff, since it's what I grew up with, feels like the real thing. I
don't love it either way, but the canned whole-berry sauce is the only
one I like much. (Most people seem to prefer my homemade stuff, so I
understand that this is probably just me.)

Serene, who also sometimes makes Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish --
anyone else serve pepto-bismol pink relish for Thanksgiving? Now that
stuff I can eat with a spoon

My family likes cherry sauce for ham, or raisin sauce, but our favorite
is plain ol' horseradish - not the "horseradish sauce," but grated
horseradish in a jar (I think it's preserved with vinegar).

For turkey, cranberry sauce is our favorite, and sometimes we'll do an
orange or Mandarin orange garnish.
