Re: non-traditional Thanksgiving Day food, here's the recipe for what my family fondly calls "Cherry Junk" (we are not, alas, the most creative food-naming fam out there.)
The ingredients for Cherry Junk are: 1 Can of Wilderness Pie filling(cherry, of course) 1 can of Crushed Pineapple 12 oz. of Cool Whip ( that is about 1 1/2 regular tubs of Cool Whip) 1 Can of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk Nuts, if desired Put all ingredients into LARGE BOWL, Stir until thoroughly blended. This recipe may also be frozen, but my family prefers it just refrigerated.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have been asked to take a cherry pie to Joe's family's Thanksgiving.
Things of note: a) I only make pies from scratch. I hold no judgement of other pie making/acquiring methods, however I have A Thing wherein if I were to buy pie crust, my great-grandmother's hand would reach down from the Heavens and give me such a smack that I find making pie crust not only easier than dealing with Zombie Great-Grandmother, but also somewhat relaxing and b) cherries are not in season.
Any suggestions for making something cherry pie-like that would not cause a Zombie Great-Grandmother invasion? Or do I suck it up and call the Grand Traverse Pie Company and call it done? I like to bake, by the by, and have Wednesday off.

Thanks, Erin.
Man, I love cherry pie. Might be my fav.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aims, are canned or frozen cherries are as bad as premade pie crust?
Eta: ooh, dried cherries are yum.

I know that I sound like a total asshole snob, but *in* a pie, yeah.
On cheesecake, however, there is nothing better. Nom nom nom.
It's the only area in which I am a horrific food snob.
Deena - that sounds yummy yummy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think grocery store checkout ladies like my stuff the most. It's where I get the most compliments. Today's lady liked the dragonfly pendant that Kat gave me. Being a couple minutes late for work was a little more worth it, I suppose.

Argh! Finally have time to catch up on Terriers and the DVR randomly didn't record 3 episodes!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Frozen cherries with no sugar added are a good choice Aims. All your nutritionist say that frozen after picked is the best way to save nutrition and taste. and then you don't get that over sweet stuff that comes in cans
However -- if you want to cheat in a good way -- puff pastry - frozen. Very few people make there own puff pastry , even the best home cooks 'cheat' with that. And make Turnovers
