Om before you eat.

Since eating on Thanksgiving is inevitable, you might as well work up an appetite with a pre-dinner yoga session.   While on your mat, dedicate your practice to mindfulness and maybe (just maybe) you will listen to your body before your belly reaches maximum capacity, which will also make your practice the day after much more pleasant - for everyone.

Wherever your turkey day travels may take you, chances are there is a yoga studio nearby with a special class offering.
