What are some really funny Thanksgiving cooking disasters in your family?

My neighbor once attempted to make a soufflé. He didn't whip the egg whites properly. So when it went into the oven, instead of rising beautifully, it just sort of slumped to one side. It was like a sad, deflated balloon. He was so disappointed, but it was really funny for the rest of us to see.

I heard of a family that invited their neighbors over for Thanksgiving. The neighbor's dog sneaked into the house and managed to steal the whole turkey right off the table while everyone was in the other room getting drinks. When they came back and saw the empty platter, they were shocked at first, but then they burst out laughing when they saw the dog outside with the turkey in its mouth. They ended up ordering Chinese food instead.

Well, there was this one Thanksgiving when my grandma made a pumpkin pie from a new recipe. It looked a bit strange, but we didn't want to be rude. When we tasted it, it was so overly spiced that my brother made a face like he had eaten a lemon. We all started laughing, and grandma just shrugged and said she'd go back to her old recipe next year.

Sure. There was this one Thanksgiving where my mom was making the stuffing. She got distracted by the parade on TV. She accidentally put in a whole cup of salt instead of a teaspoon. When we tasted it, our faces scrunched up in the most awful way. We all had a good laugh about it later, but at that moment, it was a shock. And we ended up ordering pizza for Thanksgiving dinner instead.

In a big family Thanksgiving gathering, the kids decided to put on a play about the first Thanksgiving. But they got all the facts wrong and made up their own version where the pilgrims were superheroes and the Native Americans were wizards. It was a complete mess but the adults loved it and it became the most talked - about part of that Thanksgiving. There were so many giggles and it was a really unique and funny way to celebrate the holiday.

Sure. There was a story where a novice cook was trying to make cranberry sauce from scratch. They misread the recipe and added way too much vinegar. The result was a super sour and almost inedible cranberry mess. Everyone at the table made the funniest faces when they tasted it.

I heard of a family that every Thanksgiving, their dog would steal the turkey leg right off the table when no one was looking. One year, they set up a hidden camera to catch the culprit. When they watched the footage later, they saw the dog not only take the leg but also try to drag the whole turkey under the table. It was so funny to see the dog's determination. They had to quickly cook another turkey leg for dinner.

At our Thanksgiving, we always have a family football game. One time, my uncle, who is a bit overweight, tried to make a touchdown. He ran so hard that his pants started to slip down. He didn't notice at first and kept running, with the whole family cheering and laughing. It was hilarious and has become a classic family Thanksgiving story.

One Thanksgiving, we had a pet turkey for a short while. My brother thought it would be funny to teach it to follow him around like a dog. So during Thanksgiving dinner, the turkey just waltzed into the dining room and everyone was so shocked and then started laughing. It was a really chaotic and funny moment. There was a lot of commotion as we tried to shoo the turkey out while still laughing our heads off.

One horror story was when I tried to roast a turkey for the first time. I didn't defrost it properly, so it took forever to cook. By the time the inside was done, the outside was completely charred.
