TURKEY TIME
Turkeys make this sound to communicate, especially when they’re trying to get attention.
What is gobble?
This pie is known for its bright yellow filling and smooth, silky texture, made from a citrus fruit that isn’t actually very sweet on its own.
What is lemon pie?
This mashed side dish is often whipped with butter and milk until it’s smoother than your best pickup line.
What are mashed potatoes?
These crunchy little things fall from trees, cover your yard, and make you feel like the main character when you walk through them.
What are leaves?
This person shows up with the ultimate comfort-food dish — the kind that tastes like a warm hug — and would one hundred percent mail it to the team if she couldn’t be there in person.
Who is Kyra?
The little bag of turkey parts that no one wants to touch but everyone uses for gravy is called this.
What are giblets?
This pie is loaded with tart red fruit and often paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
What is cherry pie?
This carb-packed side is the undisputed MVP of soaking up gravy and comes in basket form.
What are dinner rolls?
This warm drink shows up every fall and is basically just a hug in a cup with cinnamon, cloves, and apple juice.
What is apple cider?
This person brings chocolate chip cookies that somehow go insanely hard, even though he absolutely did not measure anything and pretends he “just threw them together.”
Who is Dijon?
Two people tug on this part of the turkey after dinner to see who gets the “lucky” piece.
What is the wishbone?
This pie is often flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg, and its filling comes from a fruit that’s been grown in the U.S. since the 1600s.
What is apple pie?
This traditional Thanksgiving side gets its natural tartness from a fruit that contains one of the highest levels of pectin among berries, which is why it thickens on its own without added gelatin.
What is cranberry sauce?
This classic fall scent combo — often found in candles — mixes cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger, and basically screams “my house is festive now.”
What is pumpkin spice?
This person shows up with a brand-new dish none of us have tried before — bonus points because she added fresh veggies straight from her garden and still radiates “high-vibe sunshine” energy the whole time.
Who is Angelina?
This soft flap of skin that hangs over the turkey’s beak changes color when the turkey is excited or stressed.
What is the snood?
This pie uses custard made with eggs, cream, and a splash of warm spices like nutmeg and cinnamon.
What is eggnog pie?
This Thanksgiving side is made by combining dried bread cubes and sautéed aromatics and broth, then baking or spooning it alongside the turkey so it absorbs all the savory flavors on the table.
What is stuffing?
This fall activity involves wandering through fields of tall dried stalks while questioning all your life choices because you cannot find the exit.
What is a corn maze?
This person didn’t cook a thing, but best believe he rolled into the store, picked out something impressive, and arrived perfectly on time like he’s catering the event.
Who is Robert?
Turkeys see the world in very high definition because they have this type of color vision – meaning they can see more colors than humans.
What is ultraviolet (UV) vision?
This pie gets its name from a tropical fruit that’s creamy, green, and loved in the South for its sweet-tart flavor.
What is key lime pie?
This side dish often uses a béchamel base as its foundation, combining butter, flour, and milk before shredded cheeses are folded in to create a sauce that coats pasta before baking into a golden, bubbling casserole.
What is mac and cheese?
This classic fall activity involves sitting on a moving vehicle completely covered in dried farm leftovers while pretending the ride is “peaceful” even though every bump sends you airborne.
What is a hayride?
This person quietly shows up with a dish that tastes so good it changes lives, and then immediately acts humble about it — right before doing a tiny celebratory dance move when no one’s looking.
Who is Nikki?
