I think you should quit while you are ahead.![]()
A pie I can handle, I am thinking about making the pie and taking it to my moms and eating her turkey.
I dont have to pull anything gooey out of a pie before I cook it.
Here's one from allrecipes.com.

Ingredients
1/2 cup buttermilk baking mix
1 2/3 cups canned pumpkin
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1/3 cup milk
4 eggs
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch fluted pie pan; dust with baking mix.
2.In a large bowl, mix pumpkin, evaporated milk, milk and eggs together. Stir in baking mix, pie spice, vanilla and salt. Continue stirring while gradually adding the brown sugar and white sugar. When the mixture is thoroughly blended, pour into the prepared pan.
3.Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for an additional 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center of pie comes out clean.
The filling for pumpkin pie is just a custard, like flan, creme brulee or creme caramel. Crust is optional, imo. (I don't like pie crust) Just make the filling according to the recipe on the back of the can; I add extra nutmeg and use brown sugar instead of white.
The pumpkin custard comes out best if you use small dishes (ramekins) - the custard cooks more quickly and evenly, but a pie pan will also work. The secret is to set the dish(es) in a pan of hot water before and during baking. The water should come halfway up the sides of the dishes. This heats the dishes evenly and prevents burning.
The custard is done when it only has a little "jiggle" in the center. You can also test with a knife off-center. It continues to cook while it cools, so don't leave it in too long.
I made little pumpkin custards for Thanksgiving dessert one year. I baked little cutout cookies that looked like leaves, sprinkled them with brown sugar crystals, and tucked two into each custard dish.

That sounds yummy!I may have to try this. How far ahead of T-day do you make them?
I usually make them the night before or the morning of Thanksgiving or else there aren't any left by dessert time, lol. It makes the house smell heavenly and everyone wants a "taste."
They have to cool to finish setting, so you could make them 2-3 days ahead if you refrigerate them. Just let them come to room temperature (or warm them up in the microwave) before serving. Delicious with homemade whipped cream or ice cream.
