I'm usually in charge of Thanksgiving when we're with my family, even though we're at my parent's house. This year, I think the menu will be:

Turkey (done on the grill, by my husband and father)
Gravy
Mole sauce
Mashed potatoes
Cornbread dressing with garlic and jalapeño
Cranberry-walnut relish
Green beans with almonds
Roasted brussel sprouts
"Squashage" = sauteed butternut squash with raisins, pecans, fennel, sage,
chili flakes and garlic & onions

Pumpkin pie or sugar-free pumpkin panna cotta

My mom and I have to watch the sugars and starches. Mom is also a vegetarian, so everything but the turkey and gravy is meat-free.
I'm debating internally whether to just do two boneless breasts, or a whole turkey. There will be five adults and two kids eating meat, and leftovers aren't really appreciated. I guess we'll decide when we get there.
