DEL.ICIO.USHold the turkey, please! Non-traditional meals
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What? No turkey and dressing for Thanksgiving dinner?
Not in my grandmother’s kitchen.
Nothing but the big bird would grace our holiday table, even though most of it would eventually be thrown out. We weren’t huge turkey fans, but that’s just how Thanksgiving was done.
I was nearly carved up once for suggesting lasagna instead of turkey.
We had prime rib one year, but Mr. Gobbler still lurked near the mac and cheese.
Ribs, salmon and Tofurky (think tofu here) have found their way onto holiday tables. Metro resident Ces Alberto said her children don’t like the taste of turkey so she opts for traditional foods like pancit, a noodle dish, from her native Philippines.
Have you ever had a non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner? What did you serve? Were you nearly trussed?

I always like to get a Tofurky with dressing and gravy. It tastes great and gives me an entree to go with everybody else’s turkey. What an invention! Unfortunately I couldn’t find one this year so I’m trying the Quorn brand version of a turkey roast. My hopes are not high though.
