Chrissy Teigen’s Thanksgiving meal is made up of many fast food staples.
The model listed the shocking places where she will obtain her family’s holiday meal this year — including Disneyland — in a Travel + Leisure interview published Wednesday.
She plans to get “20 smoked turkey legs” from the theme park.
“We’ll just lean up against the dumpster and pick at turkey legs when we’re at Disneyland,” Teigen, 38, admitted of her Thanksgiving “cheat” idea.
“Anyone that’s had those before knows that they taste like ham, they’re crazy to me. Turkey does not get better than that.”
As for gravy, the cookbook author plans to pick that up from Popeyes and KFC.
“I’ve learned through so many years of being stressed out about Thanksgiving or the holidays that if you love the flavor of something, and you really can’t do it better than the one you love, or the one you grew up on, just bring it in,” she explained.
“I used to put so much pressure on myself to be perfect, and to do everything perfectly. But the holidays are so much about family and not running around the kitchen, so I like to keep things as fun and simple as possible.”
In addition to her surprising menu additions, the self-proclaimed “side queen” will serve her loved ones a range of options — 15, to be exact.
“We’ll have a really traditional green bean casserole with cream of mushroom condensed soup and crispy onions,” she teased. “John’s granny’s collard greens are always a must for us, my mom’s scalloped potatoes, and I’m big into stuffing.”
On Wednesday, Teigen clarified to People that she cooks up three big chickens on Thanksgiving since she struggles to “make turkey great.”
The “Bring the Funny” judge explained, “I’ve deep-fried it. I’ve smoked it. I’ve done so many different ways.”
Teigen and Legend, 45, got married in 2013 and began growing their family three years later.
The couple are the parents of daughter Luna, 8, son Miles, 6, daughter Esti, 1, and son Wren, also 1.
Teigen and her large family like to end holidays with game nights, so she recently “Googled and bought every single board game” she could find.
