Every year for Thansgiving my folks deep fry a turkey, and cook a beef and pork roast (in the same pot) in the oven. The mingles juices of beef and pork make for a fantastic gravy! And cooking them in the over means it requires less attention, leaving you free to work on other stuff.
Then dishes that are like hearty and keep warmed well. Like I read one tip where folks put their mashed potatoes in a crockpot on low and it kept up to four hours very nicely.
Oh, it's so much fun to have a big crowd for the holidays! Aren't you are well seasoned veteran at large family holiday dinners?
*snicker* Just as well I don't care that much for turkey. My parents usually have a pork roast for me (mostly) and shared with the rest of the family...
Anything you want me to try making with my limited cooking skills? *wry*
they don't make turkeys big enough for that many people.
Yes, they do.
Go get an organic free-range one. Some of those are *quite* large. (I remember the year I sent a friend to get one, and he came back with a 25 pounder. I said, "I told you to get a small one!" "This was the smallest one they had," he said.)
If you have a barbecue (the regular old charcole (sp?) kind) it isn't very hard to barbecue the Turky, and it is really yummy. We did that the last 2 years.
If you have a weber, I would suggest smoking a turkey. That's what we used to do for TG, back when I ate meat. Anyway, you have one in the oven, have one in the weber with hickory chips, and then you have two flavors. Good luck.

There's a reason my family tends to do *two* turkeys.
