Haha! I met my girlfriend's family for the first time on Thanksgiving, too! We were married for over twenty years. 1) Bring your most relaxed and friendly attitude, and best manners. 2) Bring a dessert from a real bakery...it will get lost in the pile. If someone likes it, you brought it! If they hate it, shrug your shoulders. 3) Bring mother personal flowers. Your girl will judge how you will treat her by how you treat Mom. 4) You're doomed. Hahaha!
It's best to ask your girlfriend. Some families have more of a pot luck, and she'll be able to find out from her family what kind of food is most needed.
Other hosts labor over a well-coordinated menu and streamline their dinner-- they may not like it when someone brings something double, or something that doesn't compliment the menu, etc.
If not a dish you could always bring flowers (in a vase-- don't let them run around looking for one and setting it up) or a plant, a package of fine chocolates, or, if you're of legal age, a bottle of wine.
