Turkey Or Ham for Thanksgiving?

[Randy Parker]

If you could only pick between one of the two, which one would you take as your Thanksgiving main course?

Turkey for me.

Turkey but I love them both and prefer to have both as a main course.

I prefer ham on Christmas and Easter, but give me turkey on Thanksgiving.

I like to eat turkey for the first meal and then when I inevitably go back for another plate, I get ham.

Ham is trash, so turkey.

Sliced (deli) ham is trash.

I will say I don't think deli ham is near as good as a honey baked ham but I still like it.  Now turkey from the deli is fab just like Thanksgiving turkey.

Only a psycho would make someone choose, but if I could only put one on the plate I'm taking ham. It's a little harder to mess up. I've been lucky to have had the chance to eat turkey in many places and sometimes it's just not great lol. Ham is more consistent.

This. Hard to screw up ham, and in my opinion, Ham is the better leftover. Personally, I'll be smoking a turkey and a ham for Thanksgiving this year.

Leftover turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving are the best!

I have been cooking both the last several years, but I prefer the ham.  I baste it pretty liberally with a brown sugar and honey glaze.  You can't beat it.

I only eat turkey once a year on Thanksgiving. I like ham much better.

Turkey for Thanksgiving and ham for Christmas.
