When my MIL visits for Thanksgiving, we host a non-traditional meal of broth fondue. I make a nice vegetable broth and we serve beef, chicken, salmon, shrimp and several types of veggies, get a dozen or so sauces and everyone picks and cooks their own meals. The broth that is left at the end is so flavorful. I take it and make some pasta and add it to the broth and Black Friday lunch is noodle soup. I cook leftover meats and veggies and add to the soup.
My wife remembers when they used to do this as a kid and so we do it whenever her mother comes for Thanksgiving, which is once every 2-3 years (the in between years, she comes at other times).
