  Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving?
  
  You might want to throw in a turkey side dish for the sake of variety. Not a whole turkey like what's served here for Thanksgiving, but perhaps just a turkey breast.

  If your ancestors crossed the Atlantic with Columbus to America, turkey would be fine.
  
  Never mind the guest,
  If you are Chinese, its Chinese food
  If you are Japanese, Japanese food them.
  If you are South Indian, then Indian food.
  You get the idea?
  Who are you?
  
  As host, enquire what meats are taboo to whom. Thats more important.

  me no like turkey. besides, it's so hugh.
  
  my girlfriend told me that during thanksgiving, she always ended up with :
  
  turkey sandwich
  turkey salad
  turkey fried rice
  turkey pasta
  
  turkey this and turkey that.
  
  take a whole week or more to finish the dang bird. sometimes, gotta freeze up the food too.

  I know you said you're going to serve Hainanese Chicken rice. Before you said that I was thinking, how about a roast chicken? The rotisserie kind you find at supermarkets? For sides, a little bit of east and west. How about some mac and cheese, a salad, green bean casserole, garlic mash potatoes with gravy on the side, pumpkin soup (?), etc. HTHs.

  That's what always happens with us too. But for the past few years, we've gone with chicken. The only turkey on the table is just a small piece of breast meat.

  thanks giving already!!!
  
  Turkey is good so long as you cover your turkey with aluminium foild when you bake. Only take out the foild 30 minutes before you take out. This is just to get the browning so that your turkey will look brown from the outside and juicy from the inside.
  
  Get a Goose for a change.

  What u need to do with left over turkey including the bones is to make turkey soup.
  
  4 main vegetable and salt n pepper. -- Carrot, Brocoli, onion, celery. It should wipe out your turkey in 3 days.
