Jim carving our turkey for Thanksgiving Dinner. First, some interesting "Turkey Facts":

  • 45 million Turkeys are eaten each Thanksgiving.
  • 22 million Turkeys are eaten each Christmas.
  • 19 million Turkeys are eaten each Easter.
  • A 16-week-old Turkey is called a "fryer". A 5- to 7-month-old Turkey is called a "young roaster" and a 1-year-old Turkey is a "yearling". Any Turkey 15 months or older is called "mature".
  • Turkey breeding has caused Turkeys' breasts to grow so large that the Turkeys fall over.
  • A 15lb. Turkey consists of 70% white meat and 30% dark meat.


  • The most popular ways to serve leftover Turkey are: sandwich, stew, chili/soup, casserole, and burger.
  • The black-feathered (and thin) Wild Turkeys are not same as the white-feathered (very overweight) ones that we serve at Thanksgiving and other holidays.
  • Wild Turkeys can fly for short distances up to 55 miles per hour. Commercially raised Turkeys cannot fly (primarily because they are too top-heavy).
  • Turkeys can drown if they look up when it is raining.
  • Wild Turkeys can run 20 miles per hour.
  • Turkeys can see movement almost a hundred yards away.
  • Wild Turkeys spend the night in trees, flying to their roosts around sunset. They especially like Oak trees.
  • A Wild Turkey has excellent hearing & vision, and their field of vision is about 270 degrees.
  • Wild Turkeys were almost wiped out in the early 1900s. Today, there are Wild Turkeys in every state except Alaska.
  • Pig Howdy dressed as a pilgrim for Thanksgiving. Pilgrim pig.

    Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving Song Lyrics
    Love to eat turkey
    Love to eat turkey
    Love to eat turkey
    'Cause it's good
    Love to eat turkey
    Like a good boy should
    'Cause it's turkey to eat
    So good

    Turkey for me
    Turkey for you
    Let's eat the turkey
    in my big brown shoe
    Love to eat the turkey
    At the table
    I once saw a movie
    With Betty Grable
    Eat that turkey
    All night long
    Fifty million Elvis fans
    Can't be wrong
    Turkey turkey doo and
    Turkey turkeydap
    I eat that turkey
    Then I take a nap

    Thanksgiving is a special night
    Jimmy Walker used to say Dynomite
    That's right
    Turkey with gravy and cranberry
    Can't believe the Mets
    traded Darryl Strawberry
    Turkey for you and
    Turkey for me
    Can't believe Tyson
    Gave that girl V.D.

    White meat, dark meat
    You just can't lose
    I fell off my moped
    And I got a bruise
    Turkey in the oven
    And the buns in the toaster
    I'll never take down
    My Cheryl Tiegs poster
    Wrap the turkey up
    In aluminum foil
    My brother like to masturbate
    With baby oil
    Turkey and sweet potato pie
    Sammy Davis Jr.
    Only had one eye

    Turkey for the girls and
    Turkey for the boys
    My favorite kind of pant
    Are corduroys
    Gobble gobble goo and
    Gobble gobble gickel
    I wish turkey
    Only cost a nickel
    Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving
