Jordin Sparks was strolling through NYC on Friday when TMZ grabbed her for some Thanksgiving talk — and her plans are as simple as they are wholesome.

She told us she’s all about rest, good food, family time and football … though she admits her mom will probably pull her into the kitchen to whip up the sides and the sweet stuff.

We also asked her about her go-to Christmas song — hit the vid to hear which one she’s already humming.
