Okay, I live in Denmark, and I don’t really feel like creating a feast for a few friends so I can have a Thanksgiving, but I’d like to cook myself something special. Would anyone here have any recommendations for a Thanksgiving for one that would be passable? I live in Denmark, so I am guessing I can’t get cranberry…I was planning on using a chicken and some kind of veggies I suppose. Maybe I could make dressing?
Actually, I think you can find cranberries. When I lived in Eastern Europe we used to get Ocean Spray cranberries from either Denmark or the Netherlands.
I would just get a chicken, make some onion & sage stuffing, stuff the bird (or cook the stuffing separately), roast it and serve it with mashed potatoes and gravy. If you find cranberries, make some cranberry sauce, too. For dessert, if you’re feeling ambitious, a sweet potato or pumpkin/butternut squash pie.
Also, the lingonberry is related to the cranberry (both are Vaccinium), so you should be able to substitute lingonberry jam for cranberry jelly if needbe.
Welcome to the Thanksgiving For One club. I wish I were as ambitious as you. I have a 12oz canned ham I plan to do…something…with. Maybe make a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. I also wish I had thought of buying one of those little mini-chickens (cornish hens?) but I do have potatos and broccoli. I hate stuffing, cranberries, sweet potatos and pumpkin so I don’t feel like I’m missing out on those.
Since I’m not going anywhere for dinner today, I am having a cornish game hen, and trying out a sage and chestnut stuffing recipe to go with it. Also baby carrots and perhaps cranberry sauce and rolls.
I would definitely recommend turkey tournedos if you can find them - little turkey steaks wrapped around with bacon like they think they’re filet mignon. 
I’ve been cooking my own Thanksgiving dinner for about 8 years now. I generally get the smallest turkey I can find, and have it as leftovers for the next three or four days (sandwiches, too). I’ll make mashed potatoes, a vegetable of some sort, gravy, and a pie.
It’s not the ideal way to spend the holiday, but I look for the advantages. I’m getting good practice for if I ever make this for someone else (each dish has turned out great at least once, but I haven’t gotten everything right in the same year). I don’t bother with the things I don’t like (stuffing, yams, a few others). And even the scheduling is flexible. I’m travelling today, so I had my big meal last Sunday.
Eh, since I cook only for myself, I’m used to just throwing food into the microwave. So I bought some pre-cooked turkey slices, and some Country Crock side dishes. Mashed potatoes, stuffing, and rice with cheese and broccoli. Total prep time about 20-22 minutes. Not quite home cooked, but nice, solid comfort food at any rate.
