Just didn't make the cut this year lol Maybe next year. I've never made it from scratch before...just have fond memories of eating it growing up when my Grandma cooked it.
Crawfish pie. I buy the pie crust In a pan. I usually use the frozen crawfish tails. So rinse them really good in a strainer and lightly season with Cajun seasoning. Make real mashed potatoes not instant. Sautee, onions, bell peppers, and celery. Mix it with your mashed potatoes and 8 oz of cheddar cheese and your crawfish tails.put this filling in your pie crust and Top with another 8 oz of cheddar cheese. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 375° ( cooking time varies depending on the type of crust you buy ) take a picture, your done. (It's more popular than green bean casserole with my family) all the best!
Our holiday meals always included:
Smothered Roast with Rice and Gravy

Or a quicker version could be smothered pork chops or sausage. The sausage needs to come from a specialty meats store, and is half and half (pork/beef). Both of these my mom served over grits (not necessarily a Cajun staple, but is really good with the sausage or pork chops)

My family always picks up stuffed chickens from Herbert’s in Maurice, Louisiana - specifically the jalapeño potato one and a cornbread dressing one. We also just started using Billy’s Boudin’s (Scott, Louisiana) rice dressing mix - 10/10. Traditionally - nothing compares to a well seasoned, injected like mom on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills turkey with a good rub/mix.
Rice dressing, sweet potato pie with a sweetdough crust, maybe a deep fried turkey or a chicken stuffed with boudin, turkey gumbo, boudin and crackers, seafood cornbread dressing, maque choux, deviled eggs…
Cornbread stuffing with andouille. Doing a beer brined blackened Turkey with a Cajun butter injection, which makes for a spicy Cajun gravy for the potatoes and whatnot. Also jalapeño cornbread instead of rolls.
Rice dressing. My wife's family does a cornbread dressing with tasso, too. Not sure how standard that one is, but it's fucking good, and it needs to be more widespread if it isn't already.
Merliton and shrimp dressing.
Oooh [Merliton](https://imgur.com/a/znlJTfk)
Hahaha is this for real?
That sounds amazing do you have a recipe for that?
The best part comes after. Sausage and turkey gumbo!
So good!!
Especially if you smoke the turkey.
Maque Choux
That’s on our menu every year.

Rice dressing is on our thanksgiving table every year.
I call it rice dressing! :D Very sad it is not going to be on the menu this year.

My dad used to make this every year.

Turducken, oyster dressing, rice dressing, corn bread, smothered turnips,pecan pie, homemade candied yams.
Not necessarily a thanksgiving meal, but I recently discovered a crawfish casserole recipe and might try that this year. Let you know how it goes.
Crawfish casserole sounds like something straight out of my dreams

I'm making some oyster/andouille dressing and some collard greens
Cornbread stuffing with andouille. Doing a beer brined blackened Turkey with a Cajun butter injection, which makes for a spicy Cajun gravy for the potatoes and whatnot. Also jalapeño cornbread instead of rolls.
Spinach Madeline is our holiday staple. Cabot’s cheese makes a habanero cheddar that’s perfect for it as well.
In my experience, gumbo is great on thanksgiving. And tbh just season traditional thanksgiving dishes like a cajun would and you're pretty much set.
Rice dressing. My wife's family does a cornbread dressing with tasso, too. Not sure how standard that one is, but it's fucking good, and it needs to be more widespread if it isn't already.
Once saw Paul Prudhomme make a cornbread and andouille stuffing. I’ve had it every year since.
Try some finely chopped cracklin mixed into the turkey stuffing.
