Dressing, not stuffing, at our house and collard greens. Yum.

I'm so sorry that there isn't at least an "Other" category listed. At least a few of us don't celebrate the holiday. And at least a few of us are vegetarians who look forward to Tofurkey.

Good point, Keith! I'll be celebrating my first Thanksgiving without a turkey this year. I would also add spinach bread to the mix — that happens to be a new Thanksgiving favorite for me!

White meat is out front with 21 percent of the vote for favorite choices at the Thanksgiving dinner table. We are counting on your selections to boost those totals. Vote first then eat next.
