Thanksgiving Menu

Every year we gather to give thanks for many things. In our family, we celebrate with food, and we have many traditional dishes that are only served on this day. First, there is a smoked turkey. We also do a grilled beef tenderloin that spends a little time in the smoker after the turkey is done.
