You mean you're not one of those ditzy women who's never "cooked" a thing that didn't have a list of ingredients and just peels off the plastic and shoves the bird in the oven with the bag o' gibblies inside?
About "strange" foods... Thanksgiving is about gratitude, comfort, and connection with the past. After all, they're not just eating your turkey and dressing, in their hearts and souls, they're also eating *Grandma's* turkey and dressing from oh, so long ago. Sure, they might forget Nana's turkey might have been dry as the Sahara and needed a gallon of gravy to choke down, but time sure does a good job of sanding down those little rough edges. But if you can manage to give them a great meal in the present that shakes hands with the past, mission accomplished!
As the official crazy uncle, I'm feeling called out here...

Never assume the organs packed inside your chicken came from your chicken. Mine came with two necks, one still attached.
Who did you buy the chicken from? Clive Barker?!
I'm thinking Toho Studios. I'm wondering where the third is.
Took me a sec…
