the other one will wait until we're ready for more turkey stock.

We've pared down our Thanksgiving meal to:
 
Salad
Turkey
Stuffing, made from fresh, cheap white bread, bulk breakfast sausage,
celery, onions, butter, sage, salt, and pepper.  It might be hot
breakfast sausage; if not, my husband might add a few flakes of
chile.
Gravy
 
There might be cranberry-orange relish, which serves as a dessert
for my husband and as a snack for me later.

To each their own, but it ain't Thanksgiving dinner without a bit pot of
mashed potatoes to go under that gravy.  I'd gladly trade my dressing
for the potatoes.

Both of us prefer stuffing.  Potatoes are delicious, but we
don't need two carbs, even on Thanksgiving.

For me, gravy goes on the meat.
