My Mother made fantastic Cornbread Sage Dressing.
I have tried to make it, fairly successfully except for that one time when I over-Saged it.
Extra Sage does not make it Mo better!

Prime rib roast!
To answer the question, the stuffing of course!
On a side note, I made a casserole of all leftovers on the Traeger last year (in a cast iron pan of course). I layered stuffing, turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and gravy topped off with some grated cheese. It was THE BEST MEAL EVER (and I love casseroles).

My specialty at every holiday meal is the cornbread dressing
(my grandmother and my mom grew up in southern Virginia).
It's number six and Rusty's 10 commandments, and it's mandatory.
Oh, by the way, more than a wee bit of bourbon goes in the cornbread dressing.

My wife's dressing with a little giblet gravy over it and, of course, fresh collards. We lucked up yesterday and found a man selling just cut collards out of the back of his truck. He had just cut them that morning and they were so fresh that some of the leaves still had frost on them.

If I lived closer I'd be bringing over my #14 Griswold skillet and you could just fill that baby up!

My dad used to stuff the turkey with an old goose dressing made with potatoes, giblets, and bread crumbs of course. It was always a favorite for most people at the table. That recipe was from an old Watkins cook book from the 40's. I'll be making it again this year and it'll all be gone pretty quick.

This year, for the first time Ever, ALL 4 of my kids and their spouses, and (the most important part) ALL 9 grandkids. (from 1 to 17) along with a few others, expecting 30 to 35 people. 4 generations of both families!! First time my mom gets to meet two of her great granddaughters!
God is so good!

I asked my kids (ages 21, 18 & 18) if they wanted me to make the traditional Thanksgiving dinner this year. They unanimously said they'd rather I make my award-winning patty melts. Fine by me. A lot less work. But we will have pumpkin pie.
Take plenty of pictures.
My oldest son is an executive with BDO in Philly. He loves to cook, so he completely takes over the prep, all the way through serving and carving. My daughter who also lives in Philly almost always comes home as well, and she just might be the best baker on the planet! My wife and I really enjoy the difference from when the kids were young and we were both in the Army working 16-hour days all too often.
In chronological order not necessarily ranked best to worst or vice - versa: The bourbon Old Fashioned, the stuffing with gravy (cooked inside the bird of course), lemon chess pie, football, nap, second helpings of dessert, waking up the next morning and heading to the deer woods! All interspersed with misbehavin' dogs and family!
Chips, dip, masked potatoes and dessert.

The turkey for me with cranberries close by. This year it is wild turkey and not the 101 variety. Maybe later for that.
