Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner....What do I need to make?

Hi All,

I am hosting Thanksgiving for the first time. I usually have Christmas which is a little easier. I do not like a lot of traditional Thanksgiving foods, but the family that I am having over is very traditional.

What do I need to make? I don't want to leave anything out....obviously a turkey - what else?

And if you have any good recipes, that would be much appreciated!

It's not so much recipes, it's just a list of traditional thanksgiving foods that you would expect to have on thanksgiving. I don't want to forget anything or leave anything out,.
