Even to non-USAINS that don't celebrate it.

Here's my solitary dinner plans - already started.
I expect much criticism but no worries. I'll eat well today. :)

Combination of scratch, semi-scratch and a commercial frozen dinner:

1) A locally grown and harvested sweet potato. This is the only time of
year I can get the good ones. Baking or microwaving them leaves them a
bit dry so I simmer one in water until fork tender. Slice in half and
the skin/jacket slides right off. The filling gets just slightly mashed
then butter, S&P.

2) I might add some Italian green beans (canned). To be determined later.

3) A large batch of stuffing (my favorite part).
I like to start with one box of Stove Top stuffing (Turkey flavor).
This is a good base (in case I forget some seasoning.

Put this box mix in a large pot and add 4-5 slices of fresh bread, torn
into small pieces.

In a frying pan with plenty of butter (4TBS), sautee a chopped medium
onion and about 4 ounces of fresh chopped (bite size) mushrooms. The
mushrooms are a good substitute for meat. Good for taste and texture.
Add plenty of sage and stir it all together.

Add this to the large pot of stuffing mix and bread.
Heat up enough turkey broth (from scratch) to moisten all properly.
Stir gently and cover for a few minutes and it's done.

4) Finally (to cover the basics) a frozen turkey dinner.
(Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes and peas)

All served on a large platter or in large bowl plus a couple of slices
of fresh buttered bread.

This early meal will be timed to eat and watch the first American
football (hand-egg) game today at 12:30PM.

Have fun mocking this meal but I sure won't care. It will be "good eats"
plus I'll have plenty of dressing later tonight for snacking.

No dessert today. If the meal is right, no need.
I'll make a sweet potato pie or two maybe for Christmas.

You cut out all my enhancements, Joan.
But don't worry, I will certainly enjoy my meal today.

Enhancements . . . . . . . . Ok, if that's what you call them. But I saw no
need to quote all the er, um, ah, enhancements to show my pity to you.

I didn't deduce from his original post what #4 is but it sounds to me
like a 'Hungry Man' frozen turkey TV dinner. I may well be mistaken.

lol about what? Sounds like a TV dinner but you made extra sides.
Microwaved then mashed a sweet potato. "Stovetop stuffing" with some
extra bread added but hey, you used homemade turkey stock. Maybe canned
Italian green beans. Happy Thanksgiving!

I'd use a dash of powdered chipotle chile to perk it up even more.

Good grief, Jill. You can't even read for comprehension before replying.
Microwaved sweet potato? Stove Top stuffing with extra bread added?

You must wake up each morning gnashing your teeth.
Try to have a pleasant day.

Really. It's not that hard or much more expensive to make a meal
500% better than plain boxed stuffing and frozen Swanson TV
dinner.

Thank you. He could have opted for a whole chicken, a small one, too,
and cooked that instead of a frozen dinner and some boxed mush that
he has to doctor up.

Oh so sorry, you boiled the sweet potato.

"A large batch of stuffing (my favorite part).
I like to start with one box of Stove Top stuffing (Turkey flavor).
This is a good base (in case I forget some seasoning. Put this box mix
in a large pot and add 4-5 slices of fresh bread, torn into small
pieces". So yes, extra bread added.

What about that "Finally (to cover the basics) a frozen turkey dinner.
(Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes and peas)". Sure sounds like
a Hungry Man frozen TV dinner. If I'm wrong, I apologize.

My day and my dinner will be just fine, thanks. I've got the wild rice
cooking on the stove to add to my *not* Stovetop cornbread dressing.
Yes, I'll be using Swanson chicken broth to moisten it along with the
sauteed in butter onion & celery before baking it in a bread pan. The
remaining wild rice will be another side dish although I'll likely have
enough left for making some wild rice soup over the weekend.

The duck half was pre-roasted so just needs heating up. Brussels
sprouts and sliced steamed squash will round out the meal. The dinner
does not require need gravy but gee, I think I have a jar of chicken
gravy in the pantry. Might heat that up.

Really, try to have a Happy Thanksgiving.

So I'm not the only one who garnered from his post, along with some
other stuff, he is basically heating up a frozen Hungry Man TV dinner?

By the time it's been doctored, he might as well have made it from
scratch. Like his turkey stock.

On the other hand, if you read my process, I actually *did* make my
stuffing from scratch. I just added the Stove Top box at the end to
cover any spice that I might have missed.

The Stove Top on it's own is very bleak. (just add water and butter)

Quick trying to sound like you made it from scratch. Your first post you stated
you start with that disgusting Stove Top mess then doctor it up. That is NOT
by anyone's definition of stuffing from scratch.

What I'm having trouble wrapping my head around is how you're always saying
how you are making chicken/turkey broth, gallons, from scratch all the time.
Claiming how much better it is than the canned stuff but yet you use that crappy
store-bought garbage to make stuffing.

"Lol, Joan"
Why so much anger?

No one here makes "everything" from scratch.

Read my method again. I did make stuffing from scratch then just added
the boxed mess. I know I said I enhanced it but not really. I just added
a box (for the flavoring). (I enhanced my homemade stuffing. Same thing.)

Anyway, screw your sour attitude. It turned out delicious and I still
have plenty of tasty leftover stuffing. Today's planned meal will be a
regular potato, sweet potato, italian green beans and the dreaded
leftover crappy stuffing.

Speak for yourself. I make a lot of things from scratch. I use some
commercial sauces, likes whatthishere, hot sauces, occasionally ketchup.
I occasionally use commercially made stock. My roast bird stuffing is
made with bread, onion, garlic, celery, herbs and butter. I bake from
scratch. I make past sauce from scratch. Hell, I have made my own pasta
from scratch.

I have no reason to think that most of the regulars here do the same.
So don't give us that crap the no one here makes everything from scratch
as if we are all opening boxes and stirring in some water.
