No Thanksgiving here as I'm in the UK, so I hope it's alright if I answer your question with my safe and unsafe Christmas foods instead?
Christmas dinner is actually very safe (luckily!), as are roast dinners in general. Meat, gravy, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, carrots, peas, sprouts - all safe for me. (I know peas and sprouts often do cause people problems, but I seem to manage small portions of them fine.) I stick mostly to white meat. Parsnips and stuffing I'm a bit more cautious about.
The very unsafe Christmas foods for me are the things containing dried fruit - Christmas pudding, Christmas cake and mince pies are too unsafe to risk.

So far so good! I wanted to play it safe since this is my first holiday season with my DX of crohns. But man, there was some food I didn't wanna pass up--
I had turkey breast with some gravy, mashed potatoes, smaller serving of stuffing, candid yams (do these tsnd to bother crohns? I didn't have any problems) and a bowl of wedding soup! The wedding soup is what I THought would bother me. If you've never hard it, it's a very good soup. It's made with tons of cooked greens, bits of chicken and tiny meatballs, also some carrots.
Didn't have any problems. Thank God
had a second helping of soup today, hopefully I'll still be feeling well.
I really wanted corn, but I figured I'd better not try
