Super User flyfisher Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 i prefer turkey but we always have both. To me though it is all about the sides....the meat of choice is an afterthought 3 Quote
desmobob Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Do prefer Turkey or Ham for Thanksgiving? Yes! Did you see the news story about the bakery that's come up with a special Thanksgiving cake? It's three layers. The bottom layer is spice cake, with a whole apple pie baked inside. The middle layer is chocolate, with a whole pecan pie baked inside. I forgot what the top layer of cake is, but it has a pumpkin pie baked inside. That's one big cake, with three pies inside! The whole thing weighs 23 pounds and costs $250! I'd love to have one of those on my table for the holiday. Tight lines, Bob Quote
Cgrinder Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Girlfriend is vegetarian so I eat enchiladas on Thanksgiving. Not a bad change after twenty some years of dry turkey. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 I voted ham but I could honestly go the rest of my life and never eat ham or turkey again and be just fine. Give me beef and chicken over ham and turkey. Quote
Super User Scott F Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 Girlfriend is vegetarian so I eat enchiladas on Thanksgiving. Not a bad change after twenty some years of dry turkey. After 20 plus years, no one in your house has figured out how to cook a turkey? 6 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 After 20 plus years, no one in your house has figured out how to cook a turkey? Gotta go with a brine......usually brine mine for about a day or at least overnight then put it on the smoker.....best tasting and juiciest bird out there 1 Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 Both are served at my house. I would rather have enchiladas than dry turkey or fatty, gristley ham though. In fact I would rather have tofu. This is not a spot to go cheap or take shortcuts. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 I get tired of a traditional Thanksgiving....way too many dishes to clean up after, too much fanciness, etc. I always tell them I'd be happy with pizza and wings, but to no avail. My mom and sister like baking it. So to answer you: neither lol. Quote
Cgrinder Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 After 20 plus years, no one in your house has figured out how to cook a turkey? Nope. It's awful. Christmas is good though. Kielbasa and pierogi for days. 1 Quote
lo n slo Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Both. Baked ham w/pineapple glaze. Deep fried turkey w/cajun rub. 1 Quote
Super User bigbill Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 Turkey with a cranberry, sausage stuffing. Then it's salad, ravioli, sausage, meatballs. Christmas it's prime rib, salad, homemade noodles with meatballs, sausage. Easter it's spiral honey ham, salad, lasagna with meatballs, sausage. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 17, 2015 Global Moderator Posted November 17, 2015 If I get my choice it would be my mom's ham with apricot glaze. I prefer the turkey salad sandwiches from the leftover turkey over the actual turkey on Thanksgiving. Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 This year I'm going to smoke a Butt. Will probably have a turkey too but I want something different. Do like oyster dressing though. 1 Quote
jbw252 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 i prefer turkey but we always have both. To me though it is all about the sides....the meat of choice is an afterthought Yes to this! Thanksgiving dinner with all of the trimmings! Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 Sorry fellers... Bologna for me, though I may fry it, lol 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 Eating turkey is one of my favorite things about this time of year. Turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, and turkey sandwiches for a week after that! Quote
sprint61 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Boston butt!! I like turkey but only dark meat and the skin. Quote
stkbassn Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Bojangles Turkey again this year....off the hook! Quote

Super User Catt Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 Cajun Fried Turkey & Honeybee Ham Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 Doing ribs this year, I love both turkey and ham but its another meal where I will cook what my guest or I want. Never been a person tied to tradition. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 Turkey only. This is the recipe I cook: http://www.marthastewart.com/274491/how-to-roast-a-turkey/@center/1009014/thanksgiving-turkey-main-dishes Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 Turkey for Thanksgiving, ham for Christmas. We have Christmas dinner at our house, and for a few years we cooked a turkey and a ham, but the number of relatives has dwindled, and most liked the ham better. The only thing I really miss is the dressing, and we haven't found a good recipe for ham soup. The best ham is the Triple M Budaball ham. Quote
