We are hanging out in a state park for a few weeks and will be here for Thanksgiving. I'm NOT putting on the full turkey spread for Thanksgiving dinner for just us two.Any meal suggestions for Turkey day for two?

my in laws would go to the local truck stop, they always put on a great turkey dinner for the truck drivers

Does the state park your at have a restuarants?Some do and have a Thanks Giving dinner. It is where we are going again this year. Only down side. No left ives fir a snack later that night.

we did that one year and had chicken in the dutch oven, rolls, stuffing and pie. it was some work- do you have any pie irons- those are always fun.what ever you decide have a happy Thanksgiving!!

It's only 2 of us and we are doing the whole turkey thang.....12# turkey, cranberry/orange sauce, dressing, deviled eggs, mashed taters, gravy, pie, chipped beef logs (cream cheese rolled over chopped beef), olives, celery, carrot sticks for snacking.And we're dong it all in our RV oven.Just cause there is only two doesn't mean no Thanksgiving Feast.Course you can also have a PBJ and a cold glass of milk. Any restaurant close by? They'll put on a turkey dinner if open.Or grocery store deli......turkey beast. Have it cut thick, real thick and have turkey breast, stove top dressing, baked yams or sweet potato.You can pick up the whole dinner right in deli.

My favorite way to do turkey is in the pressure cooker (takes about 55 minutes, a little longer at higher elevations). I buy a 4 to 5# breast (most folks want the breast meat anyway), and then accompany it with traditional stuffing and mashed potatoes and gravy. The entire meal takes one hour to prep and cook and feed 4 to 6 easily. Have a smaller crowd? Just get a smaller breast, a 3 pounder will feed two and still provide leftovers. By pressure cooking you are assured of the most moist, juicy, tender turkey you ever tasted. :B

DW is going to do a pork tenderloin. We'll cook it and everything else this weekend; in camp it will be a matter of warming things up. (Last year it was beef tenderloin. Either one can feed the two of us for several days.) We'll add a favorite asparagus and artichoke dish, dressing (NOT STUFFING -- there was long thread on that subject a day or two ago), and a nice cabernet sauv. For lunch there is soup, an oyster dish, my wife's special cranberry sauce, and a white wine.

be careful with these frozen dinners, they are so loaded with salt

If you guys are still in Elephant Butte, NM you are in luck!

No less than 10 nearly (sort of) quality gourmet restaurants are nearby!

Ivory Tusk restaurant, Hodges Corner Restaurant, Casa Taco, Largo Rico, Victors, Big Food Express, TNT, Subway and Pacific Grille, Sunset Grille and DENNY'S are all around you in town!

So a Subway Foot Long Cranberry Turkey Swiss or a Turkey Dinner ("we never close") hot turkey dinner will fill the bill! Happy Thansgiving!

There's also a McDonalds by the way...so a McRib sandwich could work too!

When my late husband and I were RVing during Thanksgiving I served Cornish hens with stuffing and all the trimmings. I guess it depends on whether or not you like to cook but I find that two Cornish hens are just the perfect dish for two days' worth of dinner for two.

Cornish hens work well for two or even one or three..thanks for reminding.

We spent the past 2 Thanksgivings, just us. We cooked a turkey breast, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie. Of course the meal would be bigger with more sides if cooking for others and not just us.

This year we are in a park that will be serving turkey/ham and all the fixins for everyone here. Nothing better than a holiday meal you do not have to prepare.

Once, we went to the local charity for the hungry. We started off as volunteering help and ended up eating there for turkey. For some reason, it tasted very good. The only reason that has happened is because we were visiting another couple who were already involved in the charity. You guess it, we were invited to help. LOL. I will never forget that experience for some reason. Either I was lucky or something. I was seeing an more extreme hunger out there as I was expecting the usual welfare/druggie crowd. I was also seeing more older people too. That was around 3 years ago. Since then, I made sure to give for the meals/closet now at this time of year.
