If not, skip the potatoes with rosemary and do a simple roasted sweet potato (no sugar, marshmallows) and swap green salad for sautéed green beans or other simple vegetable. Personally I wouldn't want soup and salad with the dinner, but opinions will vary on that.
Thanks for suggestions. Neither DH nor 1 DC eat green beans and both always want a salad on table for dinner, so am going to stick with this one that they love.
Think that I may stick with the soup and go with a three course dinner - trying to make it special in light of circumstances.

DP. I make mine a couple days in advance so it’s even easier on Thanksgiving

Corn soup made with fresh corn cobs
Sweet potato slices - I will roast them on cast iron griddle
Green beans, turnips, small potatoes, broccoli baked and seasoned with olive oil, garlic salt and herbs. Will be served with guacamole dip.
Pasta casserole with veggies and cream of mushroom. I plan to make cream of mushroom the previous night and refrigerate.
Fried rice (garlic, green onions, carrots)
Mashed potatoes with gravy (not sure yet but will make if time permits)
No turkey. All plant-based menu to celebrate November, the month of kindness.
Yuck. Pasta, rice, sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes? Leaving no carb behind I see.
That starch packed food is better than hormones packed meats!
Better in what way?
In terms of yuckiness. I would rather prefer starch than someone else's hormones.

Looks great! I might do fresh sourdough bread with soup (instead of rolls as others have suggested) but that’s largely personal preference.
