[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regular turkey
Regular cornbread or sourdough stuffing depending on which camp you're in
Mashed potatoes (skin off, milk, butter, salt, I do sour cream)
Basic gravy
Green bean casserole or steamed French green beans (depending on what camp you're in, again)
Cranberry in a can
Rolls

Then have other things that are fun:
a fun veggie like an adventurous corn dish 
a fun cranberry sauce recipe
a salad with roasted butternut squash, nuts, cheese, spicy vinaigrette, pepitas, dried cranberries

OP here. Thanks this is helpful. I’m not sure anyone eats stuffing. Maybe I’ll buy bread and bake cornbread. I could boil ears of corn bc I know most of my guests will love that. I like the ricer machine idea another poster had. I’ve actually never made gravy! Is store bought gravy gross?[/quote]

Everybody eats stuffing, what are you talking about? And no, you can’t serve corn on the cob at thanksgiving. What is wrong with you?[/quote]

Corn on the cob with butter and salt is one vegetable I know they will eat. What is wrong with it?[/quote]

Nothing.  Do that and then make a more you-friendly vegetable dish.  I feel for you OP.  When we cook for my parents it is always a challenge to make food they eat that isn’t really bland and boring for everyone else. You could boil potatoes and make half plain and half with garlic/more adventurous ingredients.  [/quote]
