I'll be alone this year. I usually go to my daughter's house but this year she's going to another state to be with her extended family. It's not upsetting because I haven't been feeling well so eating isn't a priority for me.

I don't know what QFC is. Do you mean KFC? Maybe we don't have QFCs out here, but that IS a great idea. I could just try to get a lovely cooked turkey from the local Jewel. They probably charge a lot, but then we could use all our oven space for other foods and not have a day long riot of cooking and fighting. I like to cook some dishes beforehand and even freeze them. That takes a lot of the stress and whining out of the day as well. (Holidays with my family are like pulling teeth to get them to behave like adults. Your idea will help a lot.)

it's not that bad wichay, if you plan it right. I used to get up early and get the turkey stuffed and in the oven before anyone else was up so no could interfere.....
baked the pies a few days ahead (when no one was home) and froze them.
then if others wanted to help they could help with the potatoes and biscuits and polishing silver , etc

Yeah, it is doable. But I really like the idea of ordering a cooked turkey. That's almost a stroke of genius.

I don't think we have Honey baked ham stores here, but for some reason I think we do have honey baked ham and cooked turkeys at Dominicks stores.

Turkeys are not hard to cook. If you have a roasting pan, place your turkey in there and melt some butter and mix a little garlic powder in with it and baste the turkey. Also in the cavity of the turkey, place some dressing. Baste your turkey occasionly.
Also, you have a computer. Go to recipes.com and ask them about baking a turkey. When I am in doubt about a recipe, I go there and look it up. I hope this was helpful.

That idea sounds good. I might do that with some turkey breasts and legs or something. My snotty brother is taking his wife to the city (Chicago) for kicks. That works for me. I will just cook the day before they get here and then they can help themselves to all the nummy leftovers in the fridge...or not. Anyhow, I won't have to fight my brother tooth and nail. 
I would have also liked it if he would just stay and cook and eat the freaking dinner and behave like an adult but having him out of my face half the weekend is actually even better. Happy Thanksgiving to me! Woo! Hapy Thanksgiving to me! Woo!

Ccincy: Not sure what my guy and I will be having for Thanksgiving.I do know that it will something home cooked not fast food.
We used to always have a giant gargantuan turkey, real mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry mush, sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping, red wine, white wine, steamed brussels sprouts, gravy, and assorted other stuff and pies and garnish trays of pickled thingies. We recently added corn casserole. My aunt always brought odd things like Chutney or polenta or anything weird and we have cranberry pumpkin bread, several pies, the works. This year, I want to cut down on that stuff.

In our family it has varied some, but generally the menu was:Oven roasted turkey (and gravy made for later)
Regular and Cornbread stuffing
Candied yams
Mashed Potatoes and gravy
Green bean cassarole (yeah, that one, topped with french fried onions)
Pickles, olives, celery, radish, deviled eggs
Cranberry sauce (jellied only)
Pumpkin pie, Apple pie, Mincemeat pie
Coffee, wine, milk
Crescent or Parkerhouse rolls with butter and jam
My aunts and grandma always filled the turkey with half of the cornbread stuffing and sometimes pieces of apple and onion, which were removed when the turkey was done. The rest of the stuffings were baked separately in pans. Usually, no salad was served.
