Incredible menus, cooks, banquets and presentations right here.  Everyone has brought their "A" game to this thread.  Impressive across the board especially for the creativity and variety.  What a place to revisit for the 2021 Thanksgiving.
Keep 'em coming.
Congrats to all.

All traditional here: oven roasted turkey, vat of gravy, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, sausage stuffing, cranberry sauce, great cab, Riesling kabinett- no room for greens!  Oh, that a$$hole is me.  Happy Thanksgiving!

@JohnEggGio Beautiful setting and banquet right there.  Enjoy as I'm sure you will.

Please let your kids know that they put together a terrific spread.

I'm assuming that your daughter made the top left & top right items. The one on the right looks particularly good, but I'd like to hear about the other one too. 

Yes.  Yes they did.  Although we discovered that we were out of yeast - so the bread on the right is from canned crescent rolls with homemade pesto.  

The potatoes were some fancy recipe that involved boiling the slices in milk - then baking them with cheese - then cutting them into squares and frying them. 

The Brussels sprouts were reportedly a Bobby Flay recipe.  Bacon, pomegranate, pistachio, balsamic vinegar.

Here’s our resting turkey today. Not surprised that it looks a lot like the one posted earlier by @Mickey since it was spatchcocked and seasoned with his coffee rub. Happy thanksgiving, everyone. It has been a real treat seeing all your great cooks!

Kind of had to cram the pan in but I think it will work. 

Hey there @buzd504, how many pounds was that turkey?

Nothing to see here. Just a modified mad max. Brined, air dried and egged. Delish. So much to be thankful for, really, even in the annus horribulus or whatever you want to call it.

Looks spot on! You got to 165F??  How was it, juicy??

Not a great picture, but turned out great.  Injected with butter, chicken stock, lemon juice, and herbs.  Raised direct at 325-350.  I love it when you go to pick it up and the legs and thighs just come off.

I'm thinking waffles made from leftover stuffing are on the cards for tomorrow.

Thank you for this.  Now any leftovers I eat today will have the aftertaste of inadequacy.

Damn! That sounds great.

I've made stuffing into patties; pan fried them for crispness and used them as the base for eggs Benedict with gravy over the top of the poached egg.

 Oh damn. You gave me an idea for lunch. Hold my beer...

These stuffing ideas are killing me.

We’ve made crab cake type patties before with stuffing, chopped turkey, mashed potatoes, etc, and fried those up.  Damn good.

That sounds really good. Top it with a Cajun bearnaise or hollandaise sauce, maybe?

I need to revisit this thread next November. So I can plan my Thanksgiving grocery shopping with leftovers in mind, vs. the Thanksgiving meal itself.

We used leftover mushroom Parmesan bechamel that we put on the green beans.

We always make a second pan of cornbread/sourdough stuffing just for leftovers.  You can always make more mashed potatoes, but nobody wants to make more stuffing.
