I've made, when it was just the wife and me, "falconer's pie." It's like Shepard's pie, but ground turkey browned with flour, broth added to make gravy, a layer of stuffing/dressing, then a layer of mashed potatoes on top. It's not a yearly thing... But we make it at random now.

Okay may not be that weird. But my family doesn’t make our pumpkin pie with pie crust, we use carrot cake. We par bake a carrot cake “crust” until it’s just firm enough to hold its shape, and then put the pie filling in and bake the rest of the way. The original technique I came up with when I was in charge of dessert that year and may have had too much green stuff before going to the grocery store. My version was a flat bottom. After my mom got over the shock of my insanity, she fell in love with it and attempted to improve it. She improvised with a round cake pan and some pie weights set in the pan to displace some of the batter to create side walls. She eventually found a set of pans that when fit together create the perfect shape when weighted, but I couldn’t tell you how or where she found this pan.

We overthicken our gravy so it's spreadable. Just get to the point where you normally thicken the stock and drippings with flour and keep adding too much flour until you hit the consistency of margarine. Heavenly on rolls and allows for tactical gravy application to specific items without it running all over the plate. accidentally did this one year and have adopted it as our preferred gravy preparation.

Frozen Asian mix veggies, with a whole jar of Cheese Wiz and a can of mushroom soup, mixed together and baked with two boxes of stovetop stuffing on top. Its bizarre but goes insanely hard

Every year on NPR one of their correspondents, Susan Stanberg, describes this weird cranberry sauce dish that ends up looking like a bowl of chunky pepto bismol, and she swears by it. I’d love to see you recreate and taste test that!

I don't know how weird it is, but last year I made deviled Scotch eggs. And they were incredible. Topped them with a cranberry honey mustard drizzle.

Cheese balls. Green olive with pimento stuffing, wrapped in a thin layer of dough that’s basically 50% flour, 30% shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and 20% melted salted butter. Add milk if you need more liquid for the dough. It should be about the consistency of cookie dough. Wrap the olives in the thinnest layer of dough you can seal, then freeze. Put frozen balls on a baking sheet and bake at 350 until golden brown. Eat warm. Crusty, salty, briney, cheesy.

For me, it's my Aunt's scalloped oysters. Easily my favorite dish at Thanksgiving. I've even made it myself a few times.

Not a thanksgiving thing necessarily but i discovered it when having dinner with my family. ROTINI PASTA WITH PARMESAN AND HEAD COUNTRY BARBECUE SAUCE. I HATE BBQ SAUCE BUT IDK MAN ITS KINDA BUSSIn P.S cover the pasta in parmesan and then dip it into the BBQ sauce. Also my family used to make green goo it's basically watergate salad, it has pistachio pudding mix, cool whip, canned pineapple, walnuts, marshmallows, and well doesn't look that appetizing, and you can only eat like a 1 serving before it kinda too much, but it is nostalgic. Edit: also my mom when we would have leftover ham would make pasta salad with bell pepper, some kind of white pasta salad sauce with ground pepper. Or with the left ham she would make fried rice with an extra egg for some reason.

My grandma makes a dish with pistachio pudding, whipped topping, finely chopped pineapple, and a whole bunch of mini marshmallows all mixed together to make some strange green dessert salad. She also makes a drink that is just lemon lime soda and sherbet ice cream, which is equally violently 70s like the pudding but much less weird.

My siblings and I used to have a thanksgiving leftover delicacy which was white sandwich bread, a little bit of turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, then a slice of kraft cheese, pickles, and ketchup on top. We just called it “sandwich”

My birthday is usually just after Thanksgiving, so we celebrate it then. My family made a piecaken. It is a pecan pie (crust and all) in the middle of a dense, chocolate cake with butterscotch icing. I’m hoping it’s a tradition from now on

Creamed onions! My grandma used to make a depression era style creamed onion recipe with boiler onions and a sauce that I cannot seem to replicate (I know it has Velveeta in it but it looks more white creamy than yellow orange). Essentially parboil the onions whole, make the sauce and then put the onions in the sauce to finish cooking. It was really tasty, the onions soft enough to cut apart with a fork. Easily my favorite dish that no one else has heard of.

Binging with Babish
Hi all! You were all so diligent in giving us your freakiest, most bizarre and unhinged recipes last time, so we just had to come back and ask for more. But this time with a twist - what's the strangest thing you or your family prepares for thanksgiving? We're not looking for unorthodox turkey preparations, but anything else goes. Funky pies, odd sauces, seriously messed-up gravies, you name it. The weirder the better. Gobble on, Babbers. Submit at the link below!
