Ick! I would have freaked if that popped out at me. (I cooked a Butterball.)
Hmm, maybe they thought the turkey originally didn't have a head.
Turkeys have heads? Since when did this happen? I thought they were made right there next to the keebler elf factory just as they come from the supermarket.
I can think of a lot worse things.
This should be worth about 5 million, taking into considration the pain and emotional turmoil I'm sure they'll claim it caused..
In reading the article it said Heartland sold out in 1997 and no longer used the label. You'd have to wonder just how old that turkey was. I'd call the store I bought it from.
Calling John Edwards. Emotional distress personal injury case.
NO problem..they weren't charged extra for it..
As a result of the soon to be filed lawsuit, turkeys now require the following warning labels.....
WARNING, THIS FROZEN PROTIEN MASS, WAS ONCE A LIVING CREATURE. IT MAY CONTAIN UNEXPECTED BODY PARTS, INCLUDING HEADS, FEET, FEATHERS, GUTS, AND BEAKS. PLEASE DISCARD ANY OFFENSIVE ARTICLES, AND AS USUAL, PLEASE REMOVE BAG OF INNARDS BEFORE COOKING. WARNING
The thought of finding a turkey head inside one of my holiday turkeys doesn't really bother me that much. A rat head, on the other hand....
A turkey with its head in its arse? Musta been a liberal turkey.
The Fried Turkey Tale
Dear Mom,
I hope you and dad are having a Happy Thanksgiving. This year we decided to do something a bit different and fry our turkey whole. I am in a newsgroup on the Internet that just could not say enough about how great they taste fried. I even got a recipe from one of the members. It went something like this:
1 turkey plucked and gutted - leave feet for holding turkey
5 gal bucket peanut oil
1 extra large deep fryer heated to 500 degrees
That didn’t sound too complicated, and even though I’ve had several kitchen disasters in the past, I thought this would be a festive way to celebrate Thanksgiving. Besides, we could do the deed outside on our wooden deck to avoid making a big mess in the kitchen. What could go wrong?
I couldn’t find a turkey with feet at the grocery store. The butcher
thought I was crazy and suggested I try one of the nice frozen one that was on sale. I figured a meat man should know, so I got one. Have you ever tried to thaw out a frozen turkey? It’s a weeklong job. I figured the hot grease would do the trick anyhow, so why worry.
Have you priced peanut oil lately? I decided some of the other stuff would work just as good. After all, cooking oil is cooking oil. I managed to get the oil in the pot just fine. Heating it was a bit tricky as it kept
smoking and bubbling. But since we were outside, I thought the smoke wouldn’t hurt anything.
Now this is the part you won’t believe! I threw that sucker in the pot and
when the thing thawed out the oil boiled over on the wooden deck and caught the deck on fire! We got the garden hose to put it out. Who would know not to put water on a grease fire?
It didn’t really matter anyhow. In all the excitement I forgot to watch the
cooking thermometer and the grease must have become too hot. I was inside the house looking for the fire extinguisher when I heard the explosion. Have you ever seen a mushroom cloud? It was incredible!
After the fire department left, we decided to eat dinner out next year. Not
only was our Thanksgiving dinner ruined, but the deck burned down and took half the garage with it. The dog will be just fine when his fur grows back. We’ve always wanted a Mexican Hairless dog anyhow.
The fire department told us they make a lot of house calls about this time
of the year from people frying turkeys who don’t know what they are doing. Like, is it my fault that the grease was cheap and the stupid turkey wouldn’t thaw out? They need to put consumer-warning labels on turkeys!
Speaking of the turkey, we are still looking for it. I think it may have
blown to bits as we’ve looked all over the neighborhood. If you see a turkey shaped cloud of ash circling the earth, that’s probably it.
By the way, you may see us on the evening news on TV. A lot of people
thought it was a terrorist attack. I only hope we have not been reported
to the FBI.
Anyhow, I just want to let you know that we are all fine. I don’t think the
house will be fixed for a while since there is a lot of smoke damage. We
are moving to a motel. Do you think we could come to your house for
Christmas this year?
You were not planning on frying a turkey, were you?
um turkey head stew.
Maybe it was a democrat? :P
Hey!
Why doesn't Muttly get any free turkey heads too !
Muttly WANT !
Take it back immediately,...it obviously was a democratic socialist turkey ...obvious explanation with it's head up it's ....orifice...
