Southwestern Style Thanksgiving Menu Ideas

I live in Greenville, SC and always make a traditional southern style Thanksgiving meal. I'm thinking about switching things up this year and cooking a SW style meal. I have some thoughts of putting together a rub for the turkey of some combination of kosher salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne, perhaps garlic powder and lime mixed with butter. I need some recipes for a SW cornbread dressing, maybe a potato dish (twice baked potatoes with green chiles or jalapenos seems appealing) or some macaroni dish, also some sort of corn dish (I'm thinking Corn Maque Choux though I know that it's actually a Cajun dish), maybe some deviled eggs with avocado (though I'm not sure if that is a good flavor combination) and some sort of dessert. I'm also considering jalapeno pimento cheese stuffed celery. I also love LeSeur peas and wonder if there's some way to southwesternize those. And my favorite part of the TG meal is the turkey, dressing and gravy. I can't figure out any way to create a gravy for this style of turkey. Does anyone have any recipe suggestions.
