   OK, I'm a little premature, but the family is coming out here for
   Thanksgiving, and I'm looking for a GREAT T-day dinner!  NO buffet, and we
   want a traditional dinner!  Suggestions?

Traditional?  Great?  No-Buffet?

Why not cook it yourself?  Seriously, Roast Turkey is one of the
easier dishes you can do, and you can get the whole family involved.
Since it (along with Xmas and Easter) are among the traditional
American "Big Deal" meals, there are plenty of people out there who
can help you with recipes.  To wit:

Raisin Walnut stuffing:

1 package Pepperidge Farm herb stuffing
1 small box of raisins (4-6oz to taste)
1 small box of chopped walnuts (4-6oz to taste)
1/2 chopped onion (small)

Saute onions in butter until soft, but do not overcook (i.e. they
shouldn't start to carmelize/burn).  Combine with remaining
ingredients in a large mixing bowl, add onions, and toss.  Stuff
turkey's inside & neck somewhat loosely, and bake Turkey per
directions.  Remaining stuffing (you should have extra) can be cooked
in a saucepan according to the directions on the side of the stuffing
package (keeping in mind to reduce the amount of butter and water
proportionally to the amount of stuffing remaining).

Never serves enough, so make lots!
