My first bite is always a piece of turkey, some mashed potatoes and gravy, and some stuffing... All in one bite.

My mom passed in 05 and we have made her simple chestnut stuffing every year since, that’s always the first bite!!
My young kids now love it and it’s a Thanksgiving tradition!

It's a tossup between my grandfathers stuffing recipe and my dad's Louisiana Baked Oysters. Sometimes, it's a combo bite. I'm gonna miss those oysters this year, but I'm making the stuffing.

 

[Steve Madden]

Without a doubt my Mom’s stuffing.

Do QC samples prior to serving count?

My favorite is always a little bit of crispy bread stuffing from the edge of the cavity after the turkey comes out of the oven. And it's the first forkful from my plate, too.

My Dad's (now my) meat stuffing! First and last!

 

[Rich Dahl]

My Grandmothers stuffing, been making it for at least for 50+ years. That's the taste of Thanksgiving to me.

 

[John Sully]

The bite that my mother in law takes....stops her from complaining about me

 

[Richard in NS]

Stuffing made from my Dad’s recipe with gravy on it. Sure glad he taught me how to make it. Had to make it for him the last few years before he passed and he said it was better than his. It wasn’t, but God bless him for saying that.

 

[Ken Barth]

Turkey, gravy, and cranberry sauce.

 

[Lew Newby]

Stuffing with giblet gravy.

 

[Bill Klinke]

First bite of turkey, done, of course, on the 22 inch kettle.

I thought long and hard about this, but I believe th answer is: Whatever is closest to my fork.

I usually dig in to a nice bite of turkey/gravy combo as the first bite. I'm not counting the 'samples' from the kitchen.

 

[Dwain Pannell]

I always try a bite of turkey first. I smoke roast it on the WSM with the water pan removed so I look forward to it. The second bite is usually ham. I cook it on the Kettle.

 

[ChuckH]

Always was, and always will be the oyster stuffing

 

[GilFisher]

A roll with everything on/inside of it.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

I love turkey but mine is without doubt a huge bite of stuffing.

Always the turkey as I'm carving it. Right when it's still hot and crispy. My wife's sweet potatoe pie is also pretty incredible--but we've opted not to make it this year as a whole pie for 2 people is too dangerous in this household.
