I grew up in a very Italian, American family. I didn't realize that lasagna wasn't a traditional Thanksgiving dish until I was about 16.

My wife and I do an orange-cranberry turkey breast in the crockpot. The Kids don't eat turkey. Mashed potatos, grilled corn, sweet potato casserole, creamed spinach, jellied cranberry sauce, fresh wheat rolls and corn bread. The family all come over for dessert and the lighting of the Christmas lights. Dessert includes pumpkin, lemon merangue and peanut butter pie and whatever else shows up.

We did the appys for our family get together. Made jalapeño popper dip with tortilla chips, wife made a few tortilla rolls fill a chicken filling. The popper dip was a smashing success...everyone loved it including those that don't like spicy foods. It had just enough heat when you ate it but it did not leave a lingering burn.

Hey Tex, my wife is Italian as well, and she always laughs about her family making 3 different types of lasagna for Thanksgiving! I love it, so no complaints from me!

This list is almost exactly what we do. We don't have the sweet corn prepped that way but otherwise... ditto.
We always have the finger food trays way ahead of dinner. We always just refer to that as "the spread".
Another thing we do is a simple side / dessert that I think might actually be called Waldorf salad or something like that. All it contains is a container of whipped cream, a can of crushed pineapple, some crushed walnuts, and a package of pistachio instant pudding mix. This is just folded together until well mixed. Let it sit in the fridge for half a day or so and it is ready. Simple and everyone seems to like it.
