Hi KJ
This is a perfect time to show your "family" what Thanksgiving is all about. There is lots of stuff on the internet and easy receipes too. Here in
Germany there are no whole Turkeys. But
Turkey legs are pretty big. Just get 3-6 legs and place them in a roster then add some garlic and carrots and onions and herbs (rosemary, thyme etc) and 1/2 cup of chicken stock (clear soup should work too) and 1/2 cup butter cut in curbs. These vegetables are just for flavor. Bake covered 1 hour at 200C or 400F then 30 min not covered. Pierce the legs with a fork - if juice is clear - not pink then legs are done. Add your favorite type of mash potatoes and veggies.
In regards to pumkin pie you might need to ask your Canadian family to send you a can snail mail so you can make it for Xmas dinner.
If the above is too much at least make some
turkey sandwaiches- go to Subway
Have fun and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Good Luck
Clarissa
P.S. Google "Expats" and you should find some clubs. The problem with finding Canadians overseas are that there are 10X more Americans out there so you may have to "settle" for a distant cousin
