My aunt (RIP) was not a fan of turkey so her and her kids would roast a chicken. There has been at least one Thanksgiving that I spent alone and I did salmon. But for the most part we do a small turkey or a couple game hens.

Extra question: Do you guys eat turkey wings the rest of the year? My mom has always cooked these with either rice or egg noodles - it is delicious! But outside of KC I haven't had good luck finding turkey wings in the grocery store when it is not Thanksgiving shopping time. Rarely found them in LA. Never see them in STL. Might be more of a neighborhood thing and less of a city thing, but I was just wondering.

Poll question: Thanksgiving Turkey or something else?
