A Whole Thanksgiving Dinner for 35 Dollars | But Cheaper

Homemade Thanksgiving dinner can definitely get pricey, but I think we can make an entire Thanksgiving meal that serves 10-15 people for 35 dollars or less.

Joshua, THANK you for this. My husband and I were fully planning on KFC today, but I saw your video. You inspired us both. We did everything in your video (but used a whole chicken instead of turkey). Cranberry sauce - I will NEVER go back to canned. EVER. Your stuffing, we made with home-made sour dough (also inspired by you)... it made me cry. No lie. The flavors... Made... Me... Cry. Thank you for the inspiration, making things attainable, and the flavors were absolutely perfect for Thanksgiving. $35 bucks, worth a million dollars. Today I'm thankful for your channel. No KFC for us today, papa.

I would like to see you make an expensive Thanksgiving dinner...it seems insane that it could cost $1000

Petition for Joshua to start a series:
" But fancier" where he remakes every food but more expensiver and fancier

[michaelgraham]

"you can get your turkey cheap if you get it early, there's no excuse" our excuse is that Josh posted this only a few days before Thanksgiving, it's no longer early

[jvallas]

Since I did this for myself, I may as well pass it on in case anyone else wants to recreate this meal.

I am classically trained in pastry, make cakes for a living, and will spend 2 days making dressing completely from scratch and then put canned cranberry sauce on it. I will not apologize for that.

Joshua: Here's how to cook for 10 people for 35 bucks
*Makes 9 dinner rolls*

[denisebd]

I like how you make everything from scratch. I like your humor throughout the video. I also like how you used both measurements for your watchers and F/C heat. Thanks for sharing!!! You just need a nice punch to go with it!!!

[ewanharrison]

It's amazing that you cooked that whole dinner in under 12 minutes

Day 7 of asking Josh for a series where he shows us everything that could go wrong for his recipes, especially for complicated recipes

[SteveBrownRacing]

I for one appreciated a single video with info on stock, gravy, and rolls in one spot. Really helped fill in some gaps for me this year

I was just about to go thanksgiving shopping, you have saved me papa🙌

[cynthiaignisdivine]

I used this video to make my late Thanksgiving dinner today and it was incredible. That butter on the turkey was simple, but so flavorful.

[CzerodyStudios]

Binging your videos over the past month or so has reaaaally elevated my confidence in the kitchen. Also, your recipes are fucking delicious.

The whole But Better series has been a game changer for me. Reducing my cravings for fast food, saving me coinage and trimming my dad bod along the way. I'm noticing a real difference in my weight, confidence cooking, and having a lot of fun to boot. I cant thank you enough, good sir!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Sincerely,
Chonky Boi Cody G.
