Any suggestions ?

@Micky – you are supposed to take the turkey OUT Of the plastic wrap before you cook it. Sheesh. I thought a chef would’ve known that.

During one of my apprenticships at a huge glitzy hotel in Waikiki, working for the most arrogant snotty German chefs to be found.
We had thousands of turkeys thawing on shelves connected to each other(not anchored to the wall) in our delivery ramp leading down to the main kitchen. The ramp was about 300 ft long, the kitchen as big as a football field.
I accidentally banged the first shelf at the top of the ramp and it took all the other shelves down like dominoes.
A tsunami of turkeys as hard as bowling balls went careening and bouncing down into yhr kitchen at break neck speeds.
Never seen so many people run so fast or jump on counters to get the fck out of the way in my life.
The executive and sous chefs were pi$$Ed. Everyone else was laughing so hard they were crying. Sounded like an avalanche of boulders in an echo chamber.
Amazingly enough, next week I was poaching Nixons eggs Benedict

Sounds like you accidentally inadvertantly Turkey bowling. Great visual on the turkey tsunami.

You wingnuts are really missing the boat. Obama really does think that he is the Messiah. After he pardoned those two turkeys today (and why were there two?), he walked over and put his hand over one and said, “You have my blessing.” What, must I do your job for you? Winning the House has made you complacent. Missing out on an opportunity for another smear. OBAMA THE MESSIAH BLESSES THE TURKEY! AMEN.

“(and why were there two?)”

Well, right about now most of you on the mainland are stuffing your faces with family. Its still noon here so I thought I’d take the opportunity to express my thanks in terms more meaningful than one meal of the year that glorifies excess.
It glorifies the lives given and risked so that our country can be the one of free exchanges (profanity and all)that brought it to what it is today thru individuals voluntarily bringing their harvest to the table. Food being the metaphor
Oh, btw, I didnt mean to literally stuff your faces with family.
