Of course, if that doesn't suit, the Beef Wellington sounds like an acceptable downgrade.

OK, I apologize for the humor.

Remember that Christmas is about who's there. Everybody tries to put on the dog to impress when they host a dinner, don't do that, just have fun. If there are children there, dont forget them in the menu.

I like the fried turkey idea. How about throwing a prime rib on the grill (rub it with a mixture made of fresh crushed garlic, pepper, and onion powder instead of the beef wellington, it is less hassle and will be appreciated just as much. For a side dish, there is one that is always a crowd pleaser - throw some french cut green beans, a can of mushroom soup, and a pouch of onion soup mix together and in a casserole dish - sprinkle to top liberally with French's fried onions and bake. If you make up a gravy from the drippings, you can put that over some riced potatoes, a novel alternative to mashed potatoes and truly less work, and the soak up more gravy.

Just some ideas - as you requested.

Have a great Christmas.
