Wow,
I guess I should be thinking and planning now, I will most likely get better ideas here.
But aside from turkey, aside from what I make for guests, But the low carb foods for me, are some plain veggies, and the mock potatoes, and dessert is Atkins cheese cake, that I make.
Its not a big feast but its a nice one.

Here is what I will probably serve for Thanksgiving dinner this year:

Roast Turkey
Sausage-Mushroom "Dressing"
Faux Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Dottie's Green Bean Casserole OR Todd's Green Beans
Mashed Rutabaga
Cranberries or some sort of jello salad
Homemade Yeast Rolls
Pumpkin Bake with Whipped Cream

The rutabagas are traditional for Thanksgiving in my husband's family so they are a must. The rolls will be for anyone who isn't low carbing. I'm not sure yet which green bean recipe I'll make. I'm thinking that the green bean casserole might be a little too rich along with the sausage dressing which is also pretty rich. I may tweak the pumpkin bake a little and add more cream cheese to make it more cheesecake-like but we'll see.

Here are some recipes that would be perfect for a Thanksgiving feast:

SIDE DISHES

Cranberry Fluff

Raspberry Dream

Broccoli-and-Cauliflower Gratin

Brussels Sprouts with Browned Butter

Faux Mashed Potatoes
