A practice exists of removing a portion of the wing of a wild turkey (prior to cooking)in order to create a call from the bone, which produces a vocalization to attract turkeys. The wingbone call is considered a skillful piece of functional artwork. The secret of creating the call is usually passed on only to family members.

I thought of another one, thanks to my zoology lab and my mom, who cooked a turkey tonight. Clean the bones off, and study comparative anatomy! It’s tasty, and educational!

Feed it back to currently living turkeys and film a low-budget horror film on turkey cannibalism. Sub-themes are your choice.

If there is still more turkey left over, make it up to your mothers by mailing it to those “starving children in China.”

Here’s a thought. Take Mr. Turkey to a college dorm that has laundry facility (these are usually unmonitored…) Put Turkey in dryer and take a seat. Enjoy watching the various reactions of those crazy college kids to a spinning left-over foul.
Recommendation: bring your good running shoes in case you picked the floor with RA who is also the captain of the Track and Field team.

The absolute best thing to do with leftover turkey?
Make a turkey stew with all those leftover veggies, etc. and give it to your local homeless shelter. Unless, of course, the local homeless are also getting sick of leftover turkey…

What to do with the carcass? Hands down, the BEST: pick your favorite toy poodle, chihuahua or other small type dog, insert into [important: COOLED OFF] carcass, and have a blast watching him run around trying to eat himself. Add a couple of cats or extra dogs and see the fun multiply!! . . . or, er, I’m guessing, anyway.

I asked my 15 year old grandson for ideas and he told me that is science teacher, last year, used a small piece of turkey in place of cellophane tape to adhere a poster to the classroom wall. The students had a hard time paying attention to the teacher because they kept watching the corner of the poster, waiting for it to become unstuck. There was even a pool going but the “turkey-tape” made it till the next morning when it was replaced by cellophane tape. Needless to say, my grandson and his classmates were disappointed that the teacher had not waited for the “Fall of Turkey”.

Fill it with feces and set it on fire. On the hood of your neighbor’s car.

Can we get pictures of the marrionette and lampshade? That’s the best arts and crafts I’ve ever heard! (My use for leftovers? Have Thanksgiving dinner at someone else’s house. :P)

Be grateful it’s not a fruitcake, you turkey!

(In December can be swapped to read, “Be grateful it’s not a turkey, you fruitcake.”)
