Thanksgiving for Those Who Hate Turkey

HOW could you hate turkey it is so good best part about thanksgiving. But if you don't like turkey there's always an alternative known as CHICKEN! Unless of course you son't like chicken either than there's lamb but if you don't like any of those find a selection you like. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, oops. Sorry Josephine. I mixed up the names and thought the person who answered your question was Josephine. Therefore, ANDREW, I kindly direct you to my last post.

I hate turkey too :( It tastes like paper to me. Only smothered with gravy do I enjoy it.

Duh - you make a HAM! I love spiral ham way more than turkey.

goobble, goobble, gooble de guck,,,try greasy duck

I hate turkey also, and since im dominican we ate pernil (pork sholder) for Thanksgiving, and for any other special occasion

Angels stuffing, Mashed potatoes, Cranberry sauce, White corn niblets, Crescent rolls, Gravy....you won't miss the turkey.

My "family" quit having turkey for Thanksgiving several years ago. The time and trouble it takes to prepare and serve the traditional meal of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, etc is a bit much and getting it to the table hot or even lukewarm is an exercise in defeat. For the past few years we have gone global with our holiday meals. We have done an Asian theme and an Italian theme. This year it will be Mexican...guacamole, mexican deviled eggs, salsa, salad, enchiladas, rice. Try something completely out of the ordinary if you don't want the turkey and save a bird's life!

One year when I was little, my parents ordered a couple of pizzas the day before Thanksgiving ~ we ate pizza all day on Turkey Day.

Nothing but the side dishes!!!!

I stopped doing turkey a few years ago, the only time we have it for Thanksgiving is when we go to my dad's house. I make anything else but turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Prime rib, bar-b-que ribs, steak, pizza, egg rolls etc. I also skip most of the sides and won't make a pumpkin pie YUK.

We have a baked ham and standing rib roast, we don't have turkey. Then we can have still have all the other good things that are still part of the special day, sweet patotoes go good with ham, mashed patotoes goes good with the beef plus all the other good things, pumpkin pie, apple pie. Make your Thanksgiving a day of family, really who cares what you eat as long as your're with family and friends. Hope all have a good day not matter what you eat.

I stopped serving turkey 2 years ago. It has been replaced with prime rib, and everyone in my family loves it!

A quote from childhood: "You'll eat what's put in front of you and enjoy it!"

As long as there is stuffing (w/ celery & onions - none of that fruity tasting kind w/ raisins) I could care less about the bird served!

My family aren't big fan of the turkey either. We make lasagna instead.

Hey, I am not the only turkey hater. My family is talking pork roast; I hope so, I actually started physically gagging last time I tried to eat it.

I don't like turkey either!! I know it is crazy but it's nice to know there are more of us out there. I am from the South and we just have ham. Soooo much better!! Thanks to my grandmother who also (gasp) did not like turkey. :)

What do you serve the turkey hater on T'Giving?

All the sides.....

My son also hates turkey, and I can take it or leave it. Ham is the way to go when you have a big group to cook for. It's easy to bake and clean up after. And if someone really needs turkey there is always someplace you can pick up an one or two person order of precooked turkey.
