Mashed potatoes
A simple green vegetable
Pumpkin pie
Dessert that is not pie

No:

Turkey
Gravy
Sweet potato casserole
Green bean casserole 
Broccoli casserole
Corn pudding
Mac and cheese

Take it or leave it:

Salad
Some form of more savory sweet potatoes 
Roasted vegetables

I always wish we could do non-traditional takeout instead (we are all vegetarian and like the side dishes but they’re not our typical foods), but the kids insist on real Thanksgiving food.

With you all the way., PP. Before kids we always had Thanksgiving alone or with friends and the menu was not traditional -- usually seafood as the main, multiple kinds of stuffing, roasted seasoned potatoes, simple green beans, and a lot of desserts including brownies.

I feel like the traditional foods are all subpar in their categories: turkey is the worst poultry, casserole is the worst way to serve vegetables, sweet potatoes are a disappointment, and pumpkin is a weird thing to make into pie. Ditch em. [/quote]
