If anyone tried to serve me Popeye's Cajun Turkey I will hurt them.

Yeah. Their chicken is so tasteless that calling it seasoned is pointless so I imagine that their turkey would reach down to those same low standards.

So I see that with my love of green bean casserole, I should be heading for the middle of the country.

I don't know about that. It seems that if they are googling recipes then they don't know how to make it in the first place.

or Mom isn't there to make it for Friendsgiving, yes we have Friendsgiving in Iowa.

I'm pretty sure they are using the definition of "seasoned" that is used with firewood. Meaning dried or aged.

Utah 'splained. Mormons. Done.
I get the idea that the store flunkeys never touch the Popeyes turkey. It might be good.
Wyoming, fer real? You needed a recipe?

Costco is selling them for the season right now. My dad got one and made me try it. I'm usually against all the "pumpkin [insert food item here]" stuff, but I have to admit it was pretty tasty.

And now all I have to do is ask Fanny to get me one. =)

An almost complete wide stack of states through the middle, from Canukistan to Messico, looking up green bean casserole.

Though it's obviously not a scientific survey, I found the regional aspects interesting. I think French nailed it on the Mormons in Utah and Idaho. But what commonalities cause that middle section to look up the green bean casserole? Or much of the coasts to look up turkey? Do Nevada and Arizona do it because of an influx of Californians? Points to ponder. :)

I've had pumpkin cheesecake. It is pretty dammed awesome. My sister-in-law makes a pumpkin cake roll up with cream cheese filling that is just incredible.

Huh? People do a lot of different things with gelatin. Did you think it was just add water and you're done?
It's these casserole people that need to explain themselves. Why are you people making casserole? Casserole is nasty; don't matter what kind.

^^^And yet, the most popular Thanksgiving dish of Missouri is breakfast casserole. Surely you enjoy a good breakfast casserole?

Never heard of it, but on Christmas and Easter, my wife (from Illinois) makes strata. Probably similar.

Strata is 100% casserole.
I bet you eat a LOT of casseroles, like them, and don't even realize that you're eating a casserole.
You like lasagna?
Lasagna is a casserole.

An omelet is pretty much a casserole.
To me, Thanksgiving is turkey with gravy and my Mother's cornbread dressing. Some pound cake for desert. All the other sides are optional.

Mac & Cheese - no thank you
Pot pie - awesome, just leave out the peas and carrots
Tuna Noodle - nasty
Bacon cheeseburger tater tot - I'd try it, but I don't know...
Shepherd's Pie - if done right, they can escape being awful
Cottage Pie - never heard of it
Chicken Tettrazini - that sounds like a chicken pasta, which doesn't sound very appealing.
Nastiness, or at least blandness, seems to be an essential ingredient of the casserole. Therefore, strata and pot pie are obviously not casseroles. :P
Here's a longer list of alleged casseroles, but I don't recognize very many of the dishes.

"Nastiness, or at least blandness, seems to be an essential ingredient of the casserole."
That's because we grew up in the post WW II era of convenience food casseroles based on canned soups, canned vegetables, and salt. LOTS of salt.
I've never had a casserole made the "traditional way (canned crap)" that's not millions of times better being made from scratch by making your own sauce, using fresh vegetables, etc.
"Mac & Cheese - no thank you"
I've always suspected, but now I know. You're a *expletive deleted*ing Communist! :rofl:
"Cottage pie, never heard of it."
Essentially it's the same thing as Shepherd's pie, only traditional Shep pie uses lamb, and cottage pie uses beef or even turkey.
Obviously a lot of the casseroles in that list from Wikipedia are from foreign countries/cultures -- France, China, Nordic countries, etc. I've heard of a lot of them but others, no.
And how could I ever forget Mousakka? It's one of my all time favorite dishes. There's a Greek diner near me that has incredible Mousakka.

Trader Joe's version is pretty good.

Meh. I grew up eating both. We had fresh stuff straight out of the dirt, and dozens of mason jars full of green beans and such down in the basement, and cans of storebought in the pantry. I could never tell the difference.

Well then go back to your borscht and black bread, Commie.
