My mom was cooking a turkey and she got distracted by the phone. When she remembered the turkey in the oven, it was a bit overcooked. But we still ate it and joked about how it was 'extra crispy' and that it was a new 'cooking style'. We had a lot of fun with that tough turkey.
At a community cook - off, one person was trying to cook a huge turkey. They didn't realize the size of their pan wasn't big enough. So when they put the turkey in the oven, half of it was hanging out. They had to quickly improvise and find a bigger pan. It was hilarious to watch them running around the kitchen in a panic.
Sure. Once, a hunter was trying to be really stealthy while approaching a turkey. But he didn't notice a small ditch. He stepped right into it and tumbled forward, scaring the turkey away. But the way he tumbled was so comical that his friends couldn't stop laughing for days.
Sure. One story is about a turkey that thought it could fly like an eagle. It climbed up on a high fence and flapped its wings really hard, only to land in a big pile of mud. Another is a turkey that followed a group of chickens around all day, trying to do exactly what they did, like pecking at the ground in a very funny, clumsy way.
Sure. One time I was trying to make a cake. I accidentally put salt instead of sugar. The look on my family's faces when they tasted it was priceless.
Once, my family was having a turkey dinner. My little cousin thought the turkey's leg was a drumstick from a real drum and started banging it on the table, making everyone laugh.
Sure. Once my mom was making a cake. She accidentally put salt instead of sugar. When we tasted it, it was so salty that we all made a funny face. But we laughed a lot about it later.
Sure. One time my friend tried to make a simple pasta dish. He put the pasta in the pot and then got distracted by a phone call. By the time he remembered, the pasta had turned into a big, mushy mess that was stuck together like glue.
Here's one. A family was preparing a big Thanksgiving dinner and the turkey they had bought for the meal managed to escape. It ran into the neighbor's yard and hid among their pet chickens. When the family came to look for it, they couldn't tell which one was the turkey at first because the turkey was trying to blend in with the chickens by making chicken - like noises and movements. It took them quite a while to find the runaway turkey.
A family member tried to make homemade pizza. They rolled out the dough too thin in the middle and too thick on the edges. When they put on the toppings and baked it, the middle was burned and the edges were still doughy. It was a total mess.
Once, a caller on the Butterball Turkey Hotline asked if they could stuff the turkey with a whole pumpkin instead of the traditional stuffing. It was so absurd and funny. The hotline operator patiently explained that it was not a good idea as it would not cook evenly and could cause a mess in the oven.
Well, there was this one turkey at a petting zoo. He was so friendly that he would follow the zookeeper everywhere. One day, the zookeeper was wearing a big hat. The turkey became obsessed with the hat. He kept pecking at it gently, as if he wanted to wear it. When the zookeeper finally took off the hat and put it on the ground, the turkey tried to put his head in it. It was hilarious to see the turkey with a big floppy hat on his head.
