Take a good look at the picture above. Yep, that's what you are going to be stuffing your face full of, come Thanksgiving. When you buy your turkey frozen from the closest grocery store for pennies a pound it's hard to remember that the beast thawing in your fridge was once a living, breathing, monster of a bird. This Thanksgiving try giving the guy a little respect and avoid these acts of fowl play. Your dinner guest will thank you, too.

4. The Turducken - We really can't look at these the same way after seeing "human centipede". If by some bizarre chance you have never heard of this Thanksgiving trend, the Turducken is truly a thing of awe. You start by de-boning a chicken, a duck and a turkey. Next you are going to stuff the chicken with dressing and then put the chicken inside the duck and pack the duck with more dressing. Next you put the chickenduck into the turkey with more stuffing and sew the whole thing up. In some versions, you can use meat glue to hold the whole thing together( yes there is such a thing as meat glue) Not only are you defiling one bird but now you have pulled his cousins in the mix.
3. The True Love Roast - Now that you know all about the Turducken, let's move on to bigger and better, The Love Roast. Just like the Turducken, you are going to de-bone some birds and then sew them all up together. The fun thing about the love roast is you are going to use 12 birds. Not just three birds in one but rather an aviary apocalypse of epic proportions. The Love Roast is made up of, a quail, mallard duck, pigeon, partridge, guinea fowl, poussin, Barbary duck, Aylesbury duck, pheasant, chicken, goose and a turkey. And it's layered with 6 different kinds of stuffing. That is a whole lot of bird!
1. Deep Fried Turkey - Do yourself and everyone else a favor, go the slow-roasted route. There is plenty of butter and oil in everything else on the table there is really no need to put everyone, bird included, in harm's way on Thanksgiving. If you still think it's a good idea, take a look at this video.
