Bread is the best part of any meal. The mashed potatoes are for suckers. Nothing beats taking a bun and sopping up the last of what's on a plate.

People overcook them.

Oh yeah, I'm with you on the buns. Thing is, we don't even bother with them at this point, so it never really crossed my mind.

I never understood salad with a turkey dinner. Like, thanks, where do I put this on my plate? Nowhere, that's where.

I'm just not a big turkey fan. It's fine, I don't dislike it, but for holidays like this I like breaking away from the norm and doing something else. Prime rib a few times over the last few years, roast chicken legs, Salmon, this year I worked all weekend just ordered KFC and called it a day

We had deep fried turkey this year. I was skeptical, but it actually turned out really nice. Also, because the stuffing wasn't actually stuffed in the bird, it didn't have those weird soggy bits and clumps like you normally get.

I also don't think there's just one item that's above the rest. Getting a forkful with a little bit of turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce? That's the best.

Ya, when I get asked "what time is dinner" the correct answer is "when the turkey is ready".

Turkey can be done in advance. "When the roast potatoes are ready" is the answer because those need to be served piping hot and crispy.

I recommend everyone learn how to spatchcock turkey. Cooks much faster and more evenly while also giving much more crispy skin and moist meat. It's the superior method in all regards.

Mashed sweet potatoes is my Thanksgiving staple. Really don't do them any other time of year, but it's not Thanksgiving dinner without them.

This is classic Sliver contrarianism. Advocating for dry turkey!
But seriously, cooking turkey shouldn't be much harder than cooking a chicken. However, even with general x minutes/pound guidelines and a meat thermometer, the cook times still seems to vary wildly where I am either 1.5 hours early or late, depending on how that dead bird feels like it wants to cook on that day.

Low and slow, baby. That's how you cook a good bird.

Buns are for the following day...
Turkey buns are best for a Thanksgiving next day snack...

Ya, I've definitely had the same size turkey in the same oven take a significantly different amount of time, I think a lot has to do with water content. That's why dinner time is when the turkey is ready. Pretty much every side takes under an hour, so with a 30 min turkey rest/carving time, you can use a thermometer and guess that last half hour to get everything else on the go.

It’s thicker and fatter for sure. We have a small dinner so we never do a full bird, just thighs. And the skin is significantly less appetizing than chicken skin.

You are correct, turkey sucks balls.
We not do a nice citrus Asian inspired pork loin at thanks giving and we have been doing BBA ribs at Christmas for over 15 years, so much better.
Who wants to take any time to make such a ####ty piece of meat.
