I love a good Turducken with cornbread and oyster dressing, But as an old man thinking back I remember one year my uncle in Oregon made a Smoked Turkey and filled the with onions, turnips, rutabagas, fingerling potatoes and parsnips inside it and I must say that was the best tasting turkey I ever had. My aunts made the stuffing and baked it in the oven. Everyone was sitting around with their pants unsnapped. It was kinda like the turkey leg you can get at the fair, and the veggies mashed with some gravy on top was really something as were the homemade cranberries. plus we had a reg. turkey also along with ham, Lots of people there.

[@jamescumbo1928]

Happy Thanksgiving to your family. We used to go all out. Turkey, pineapple ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, black olives,sweet pickles, fruit salad, cranberry sauce. While waiting for dinner we would have a vegetable tray with dip, cheese, summer sausage and crackers. This year being by myself i am fixing steak fajitas. Jim you are a blessed man to have such a beautiful wife in Lydia. I really like how you both work together as one. Much love from Washington state

[@StephanieMcCamon]

All my extended family, my self and my husband like turkey. My daughters do not. After most of their growing yrs, they ate enough of other dishes to be satisfied. But when they were almost grown, we made roasted primerib. Or ribeye roast. Noone says you have to eat turkey to be traditional. You can make your own traditions for generations to come. 😊❤ 23:59

[@ctapson4374]

My late father used to make a corn casserole where you fry chopped up bacon, saute onion in the bacon drippings and then add a combination of whole sweet kernel corn and creamed corn and then bake it in the oven. It is good and it reminds me of him anytime I make it. ❤

[@GrahamAlexander-r2r]

Being an English man in UK - I use any holiday world wide for an excuse ... Where I live there are many friends who are from USA (all over so its important to celebrate, however as you say I am constantly surprised how many don't like Turkey, so I go with the defunct UK Christmas concept and purchase a load of large cornfed chickens and cook them in a similar vein, The unexpected result the first time I did this everyone was happy because they all had a leg each and no infighting 😄 To couple this we all bring in something to contribute so we end up with about 14 veg of various sorts and weird combinations of mac & cheese etc. IN the UK we would call this a "pot luck celebration" Must work out ok every year it getting bigger😁 Oh yes forgot might have something to do with the booze on tap / supply as well. Graham PS happy thanks giving.....

[@johnr3603]

Americans tend to (always) way over cook turkey, I know,I’ve learned 😮

[@LRS34625]

Turkey is not my favorite but we always have it for Thanksgiving along with homemade cranberry sauce and my wife's excellent stuffing. Top it off with mashed potatoes & gravy, sweet potatoes, squash and of course green bean casserole. I hope you all enjoyed your holiday.

[@bobhall5893]

You could thrown down some elastomeric roof coating sealant on that tape to UV protect it. Brining our turkey is the secret (1 hr per pound) comes out perfect every time! Mashed potatoes, corn pudding, green bean casserole, and home made cranberry sauce are our sides.

[@mattgirgenti3595]

This year changed the turkey feelings. Much like you, we did one for tradition but usually also had a prime rib or ham for the real meats. However, this year my brother did a Cajun turkey in his Traegar grill. Best turkey ever!! That was the consensus from a large Italian Texas family that takes food (and critiques) very seriously. Happy Thanksgiving to all the CCL family.

[@kennethkeating799]

We don't like turkey either however a few years ago I did the thanksgiving bird (yes a turkey) on the pellet grill, injected, and fast cooked at 450º till the breast were 165º internal. It took less than 3 hours and was the best turkey method I have tried yet kinda became the standard around here

[@toddtefft8827]

We always have a turkey and it’s picked clean. My side are stuffing, farm raised Deviled eggs and cranberry sauce

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!!

[@StevenKensy]

Hi you two ❤❤!!!! You're going to think I'm crazy, but the best thing about Thanksgiving is the day after 😊. Take all your leftovers, dice everything up, put it in a large frying pan or dutch oven mix everything together, turkey, potatoes, vegetables, dressing, sweet potatoes and lots of gravy. Heat it up and enjoy!! Sooo good.

[@stevehildreth1934]

The fringe on those cut-offs lights up easy and burns fast, ask me how I know! Mine were full length denim pants, frayed at the cuff, took the pant leg half way to my knee before I got it put out. My recommendation is protect those pretty legs, burn scars are ugly...

[@bobflores]

Happy Thanksgiving. I do a beer-butt turkey every year and everyone loves it. Alway moist and tender. You can paint over the flashing tape with a UV protective paint and it'll last longer.

[@philhatfield2282]

We do the Turkey, but we get fresh, never frozen Turkey to cook. I make the stuffing/dressing, which is probably my favorite side dish, mashed potatoes, candied yams, cranberry sauce, lima beans in butter, green bean casserole, and fresh baked rolls. Lima beans are my second favorite, and only my younger brother and I like them.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!! That sounds great!

[@carlasworld8571]

It depends, this year I made a turkey with mac & cheese, dressing; not stuffing there's a difference, turnip greens, potato salad, cranberry sauce, rolls, a sweet potato pie and a peach pie. Happy Thanksgiving., be blessed.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Sounds great!

[@melaniewallace6912]

We fry a turkey and chicken. We also make a ham. Cornbread dressing. Candied yams. Mashed potatoes. Green bean casserole. Homemade mac n cheese. Broccoli rice casserole. Deviled eggs. Gravy. Rolls. Cranberry sauce. Pumpkin, pecan and coconut cream pies. My husband fries the birds and I do all the rest 😅 I personally just want to eat all the sides and a roll 😂

[@LawsonLyons-j9b]

Love turkey cold turkey sandwiches absolutely the best thing ever

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!

[@kenyh6695]

The best part of rhe turkey to me is the thigh an dthe drumstick and that with dressing with gravy over all of it/

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yes!!

[@deborahplyler6528]

We had Turkey for Thanksgiving my family likes it so I make it for them, I give it my family to take home , I like broccoli salad, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, fruit salad, cheese and crackers and beets.

[@chrisanders2052]

Turkey for thanksgiving and ham for Christmas. I prefer just the turkey breast so sometimes that’s all we buy. Candy yams are my favorite thanksgiving side.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

That sounds great!

[@TrendsbySterling]

Turkey is great with stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, mac n cheese and don't forget the biscuits!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yes!!

[@defensivecyberllc]

We are only able to get together with the immediate family in the household, but we did steaks on Thanksgiving and Christmas because we can do without the turkey/ham. Only when we get together with friends do we do the turkey/ham. You're not alone Jim. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!!!

[@HeelerMomma13]

Hope Ya'll had a wonderful thanksgiving dinner. I make corn pudding. That and sausage stuffing are my favorites.

[@raybo34]

That tape was a good idea. I love turkey on Thanksgiving and then the week of turkey sandwiches and turkey hash made from the last of the turkey, stuffing and gravy. My mama made the best turkey gravy. I can make it like she did but it isn't quite the same. Candied yams and Crack Green Beans (Google that recipe, it's awesome) are my favorite sides. One thing I really miss are my grandma's chocolate layer cake and red velvet cake. Both completely made from scratch. I hope y'all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Well it's just another Thanksgiving just my wife and me along with our three very little fur babies.... She bought us a ham stake and made some mashed potatoes with some dressing. We spent the day just being lazy and talking about the many ways God has blessed us over our past 48 years of being together. Even through the hard times, God has been faithful and GOD PROMISES TO ALWAYS FAITHFUL NO MATTER WHAT UGLIES LIFE THROWS AT US!!!!!!!! God is so good ALL the time........ Love you kids, be blessed in Jesus name... BBE...

[@warbird099]

The project is looking good! As for the turkey, we agree...we are not fans. If we do something 'traditional', we will do a ham. Lately, we have been doing non-traditional meals on Thanksgiving. This year, it's going to be chili!

[@pedroequis9396]

My favorite is Giblet Gravy !

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!

[@Fezzler61]

I thought we were the only ones. We decided turkey isn't that great years ago so we do something different every year. Over the years we've done a Low Country Boil; or Pulled Pork; or Prime Rib; or Ham and sides; Lobster; Italian with different types of ravioli; BBQ Ribs; etc. Make it fun.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Sounds really fun!

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

Turkey is gross

[@curtisblue1]

My Family love turkey but there has to be some Ham as well, side or collard greens potatoes salad.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

We have ham too!

[@JEWELInTheCrown-si5rs]

A very simple side dish is homemade cranberries. It’s called a cup, a cup and a bag= 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup maple syrup and 1 bag of the regular size bag of cranberries you see at most grocery stores (serves about 6 people and is very good). Bring it all to a boil and let the berries pop then simmer about 20 minutes and done! I really do like the turkey😊.

[@pinkmosquito22]

When we built our pole barn construction heavy equipment shop, we wrapped the bottom of the vertical posts in the same flashing tape. You are not kidding, VERY expensive!! We are in NY so our frost line is quite deep. We ended up having to use 1.5 rolls per 6x6 post to get everything protected to just past the top of the concrete. In case you weren't aware, concrete destroys wood, even treated wood, so we did this to get the longest life out of our DIY build. I make baked corn for Thanksgiving (I guess you could also call it a corn casserole). Unfortunately, I'm home sick today, so not only did I not cook, my husband and son went to the family dinner without me. I'm super sad 😞 Happy Thanksgiving too ya'll!!

[@jillcarney4123]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 We are having a pot roast today. I prefer the turkey white meat and sweet potatoes. The best is the next day having a turkey sandwich made with homemade roll, turkey and cranberry relish.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!!!

[@MarshallRice-y2k]

One year we went to Costco and got some huge turkey pot pies--worked really well for a change !!!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!! Great idea!

[@tammaragill9347]

We love smoked turkey. Our sides are sweet potato roll, mac-n-cheese, roasted Brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, and stuffing.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!!!

[@keithprinn720]

that huge dry work area offers both the opportunity to work in rain and a roof to store tools and other items attached to the roof ready to use. As for a family feast, pasta salad, roast potatoes, corn and for protein prawns, you call shrimp and chickens. with fried rice and garlic bread.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Great point!! Same to you!

[@eldonjenkins551]

We used that tape on a pipeline and someone set a roll on the bosses truck hood upright ended up wrapping a rope around it and puled it off with a 4 wheeler. truck Blue temp 98 degrees tape set for about 3 hours Good times had by all except for the butt shewing we all took. Stay Safe

[@davidshepherd-m2j]

I love turkey most dont but we always do a turkey and a ham.My favorite side I think would have to be sweet potatoes. happy thanks giving even if its almost christmas lol

[@johnkirby6547]

Glad y'all had a happy Thanksgiving. Those are some sweet welds Lydia and Jim that tape should be fine to last till you get the roof over done. Great idea doing that for sure. We did filets this year a little change up. Love green bean casserole and sweet potato..

[@gettinghealthynow1]

Happy Thanksgiving. We cook a prime rib roast, then buy a couple tiny turkeys after turkey day ,when the price has dropped, to stick in the freezer for later. I would have just sprayed foam insulation into that seam. A lot less work and cheaper. Although I think the cranking it together and welding it first was a good idea.

[@EdwardMuller-l6z]

AND A BELATED HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU FOLKS [DO HOPE BIG JIM ENJOYED THAT SMALL PC. OF TURKEY ON TOP OF ALL THAT STUFFING N OTHER GOODIES]

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Same to you!

[@larrywestberry2744]

Just wandering how good the tape worked out. I also do not understand why you think people do not like turkey. All I can say is that you never tasted my daughter’s turkey. We have a small family but she has to cook two turkeys so the family has left overs. I used to fry my turkey and it would turn out good but not as good as good as my daughter’s baked bird. We will have to but a couple extra because we like to have her turkey all year long. So happy thanksgiving to all of our Cajun family and keep up the good work. By the way just wanted to shout out to Jim for doing a great job as your apprentice.

[@shelleyennis4489]

We are sick of turkey & never cook it anymore for thanksgiving. We have roast beef!!! 😋🇨🇦

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!!

[@Dag12324]

i have used that tape a lot but thought the container tops had a slight arch that would make a 3 inch deep puddle on top of your tap but not sure. im sure it will be better than the crack as far as temporary use is concerned

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yes! Just temporary.

[@wendyhall1395]

I love turkey drumsticks and that's the only part of the turkey. My family does not like turkey. This year all the grandkids requested the menu...... starting with Mimi's Gumbo, aunt Kim's Mac N Cheese. Also, Mimi's potato salad, cornbread, dressing and shrimp alfredo. Along with a few other sides. Yeah, it's a twisted up mess, but my grands are getting older and I cherish every moment with them and especially love that they feel comfortable asking for just what that want. We're also celebrating on Friday this year because of the social calendars. haha! Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving........... off I go to do all the cooking.

[@randallfawc7501]

Nothing like a big ole turkey and swiss foot long!!! 😃 With a couple of good fixuns on it!

[@mattshanks2604]

❤❤❤❤ Definitely Dressing and cranberries! Turkey is pretty good if ya deep fry it, of coarse inject it with your favorite marinade. I like butter garlic and herb with a dash of liquid smoke❤

[@georgebryan2968]

I love turkey the dark meat maybe some white meat but the dumplings and dressing and cranberry that is it God Bless you and your Family Have A Happy Thanksgiving

[@glennwolf5778]

My favorite sides are yams and green bean casserole. We make a smoked turkey breast for the two of us

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!!

[@jfarmer1711]

My wife loves turkey roasted, baked, deli-slices, deep-fried, in fact, I haven't found a way she don't like it. Me, my favorite is ham and a big pile of sage dressing.

[@MrEgigas]

Great background music! I make great turkey not sure why this is a thing. Try spatchcock, then split in half. Smoke one half and slow cook crockpot the other half. Boil the neck, trimmings, and spine till you have a nice broth, add the crockpot juices. Strain the separated broth. Separate the fat and give to the pets with their kibble. Slice the turkey meat off both halves and return to crockpot with all the juices till time to serve. Its a winner winner turkey dinner, especially the dark meat.

[@johnspoentgen9489]

You guys are Great. Can't wait to see how containers get finished off.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you!!

[@mred660]

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. I would have used metal tape. Isn't effected by UV and is probably cheaper. Stuffing and cranberry sauce.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you! Good point!

[@ctapson4374]

I love turkey and if there are any leftovers, i make creamy turkey enchiladas! So good!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!!!

[@JaniceHodge-r7t]

Most of us really like turkey but we also do ham ! Of course it's not Thanksgiving without all the trimmings. Deviled eggs , rice , mashed potatoes, stuffed celery , grandmommas dressing , green beans , broccoli casserole , 3 kinds of pies and assorted other desserts....and lets not forget boat loads of gravy !

[@delandbrooks3291]

We don't care for Turkey, so if it's just the wife and I, we do a ham and the usual sides. I'm a dressing hound but can put a good dent in a Green bean casserole. If we have company (family is halfway across the country) we do a turkey and the works. We usually do a Pumpkin and pecan pie. I don't do sweet potatoes but love any kind of taters. We did scalloped this year.

[@Green3Eagle]

What about rigging a pivot-pulley system to haul material to the top of the containers? You know, using fulcoms or whatever its' called.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

That sounds like a great idea!

[@bay9876]

Some have insalled roof trusses and with roof to eliminate any chance of water egress. Rafters and roof trusses spanning between two containers to create a cement floored open work area for machinery, and livestock.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Great minds!

[@russ517]

Slow cooker DEER roast cooked in mushroom soup. The soup makes excellent gravy, two dishes in one.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Sounds great!

[@Eclipse-ss7ko]

I love your channel but I also believe that Lydia is the boss welder and you Jim are the apprentice. At least for this show. LOL We make turkey and eat it. Just a little one, we use what ever is left for sandwiches. Prime Rib on Christmas.

[@Bob_Adkins]

Turkey can be a bit bland, so we have started using smoked turkey. The leftovers are very good in gumbo too! Happy Thanksgiving, now back to my turkey dinner coma...

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum! Great idea!

[@Falcon204]

Gobble Gobble till you Wobble! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Cajun Country Livin' Family! .. My favorite side dish is Yams with brown sugar mixed then marshmallows on top till the marshmallows are nice golden brown and crispy.

[@rubadubgrub]

Jalapeno deviled eggs and ham We don't do turkey anymore we do rotisserie chicken

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yup!!!

[@N5XHIworkshop]

Tamales & fajitas for this Thanksgiving. Turkey with a whole made gravey is what we have, but not this year. ❤

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yum!!

[@billelsener6192]

Great show kids. Lydia, you rock and roll. Good idea on keeping dry except when the wind is blowing the rain. I’ve fixed turkey on thanksgiving and ham. Couldn’t eat up all the food in a week. So we had 4 kids just to help. Have you ever fixed Jersey White Sweet potatoes? They’re naturally sweet. Yum Yum. Jim, you do a great job but Lydia is just so much better looking. 😅😅😅

I would recommend getting some 6 inch EPDM rubber. With the glue you apply with a chip brush. I can assure you that it will not leak and you will never leak or you cant pull it off.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

We will look into it! Thanks!!

[@phillipgoecke1585]

Good morning Lydia and Jim 🐊 Happy Thanksgiving!! I enjoyed the video today and loved the banter back and forth. Y'all seemed to have an extra amount of fun with this one 🙂 I like all the sides you mentioned but what i enjoy the best is probably to smother the stuffing with green chile, using hatch chile peppers. I absolutely love green chile on most everything and it's excellent with turkey dinner. I hope y'all are having a day of joy, peace and special memories with loved ones. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@edgoodrich9746]

[@jimdelong949]

Happy Thanksgiving Jim, Lydia, and Miss Ladly. I like turkey. We usually have turkey and ham. My favorite side dish is cornbread dressing. I won't eat any other kind. For dessert I like pumpkin pie but prefer sweet potato pie. Wishing you an enjoyable feast at your Thanksgiving meal. Since I don't know how to weld. Jim with all the code talk made me even more confused 😊 I think both of you do a good job. I'm glad you're getting some good weather. We are in the 30s during the day here in northeast Missouri

[@CajunCountryLivin]

We do turkey & ham too! That all sounds so good! Hope you are getting some warmer days soon!

[@debbienok]

Squash casserole yum. Not a turkey fan here I just brine then spatchcock a chicken and smoke it.
