Favorite dish(es) from your turkey day? - Non-Americans feel free to abstain

I make cranberry salsa on top of the regular sauce.

Dump some cranberries in a bowl, rinse them a couple times, then transfer them to the food processor a handful at a time. Pick out any that have wrinkles or aren't very firm and fresh. Grate the zest off of a few clementines, tangerines or an orange and peel the pith off of them, remove any seeds. peel and trim some fresh ginger, then put the ginger, zest and fruit in the food processor. Pulse it a couple times, add plain sugar to taste. You can also add booze if you want, it's good with a bit of red wine or brandy added.
 
My great-grandfather departed this mortal coil at the beginning of the month and one of the things he was doing before he got hospitalized was hunting his town for the perfect chimichanga. Since my Thanksgivings are always Mexican food, I decided that's what we're having along with Corona micheladas, because that was his favorite beer.
Dessert was originally going to be those deep-fried flour tortilla things with cinnimom sugar, but I might try to make my own churros instead since those are also a deep-fried cinnmon sugar Mexican thing.
 
We got Turkey breast, Ham and are planning on mashed potatoes/greens.
 
I genuinely like turkey. My dad smokes it and it comes out so juicy and with perfect skin.

Close second would be my stepmom’s mashed potatoes and gravy. I could wolf down just a huge plate of those alone and be happy
 
Mac and cheese my family's way. We always make a shit ton (because it's a holiday to eat a lot) our way is lot of good cheddar, nice and salty and crunchy on so not the custard type like many,

I'm not a huge turkey fan, but really my fav is all the different snacks we make while watching football, drinking, catching up and prepping dinner. Be it simple like mixed nuts to Momma Basso's onion dip, pigs in blanket hummus etc. Just picking enough to feed an army as you cook enough to feed an army, than consume that.
