TALKIN' TURKEY here...
- The average American consumes over 15 lbs. of turkey each year
- 226 million turkeys were consumed in 2009 (or 736 million pounds of turkey)
- The heaviest turkey weighed in at 86 pounds ~ their average live weight is 28 pounds
- Male turkeys are called Toms
- Female turkeys are called Hens
- Baby turkeys are called Poults
- Turkey eggs are twice the size of chicken eggs and cream-colored with brown speckles
- Turkey eggs take about 28 days to hatch
- Turkey's heads change colors when they get excited
- Turkeys grind their food in their gizzard (as they have no teeth!)
- Turkey feathers were used by Native Americans to stabilize their arrows
- The first meal on the moon was foil food packets of roasted turkey and the trimmings
- High carbohydrate meals (such as Thanksgiving Dinner) contain tryptophans, which is believed to make you sleepy.
- Turkey is good for your eyes because it is rich in zinc
- Big Bird's outfit has over 4,000 white turkey feathers that are dyed yellow
- Benjamin Franklin wanted the national symbol to be the turkey instead of the bald eagle.
- Turkeys have great hearing, but no external ears. They can also see in color, and have excellent visual acuity and a wide field of vision (about 270 degrees), which makes sneaking up on them difficult. However, turkeys have a poor sense of smell, but an excellent sense of taste.
- Domesticated turkeys cannot fly. Wild turkeys, however, can fly for short distances at speeds up to 55 miles per hour. They can also reach speeds of 25 miles per hour on the ground.
- Turkeys sometimes spend the night in trees.
- Some believe Christopher Columbus thought that the land he discovered was connected to India, and believed the bird he discovered (the turkey) was a type of peacock. He therefore called it 'tuka,' which is 'peacock' in Tamil, an Indian language.
What did the turkey say before it was roasted?
Boy, I'm stuffed!
Why did the police arrest the turkey?
They suspected it of fowl play!
Can a turkey jump higher than the Empire State building?
Of course, buildings can't jump.

The wishbone is a tradition of Thanksgiving. When two people grasp each end of the wishbone, after making a wish, they pull it away.
Who ever gets the joint-portion gets their wish!
