My dad spends weeks bragging about his 'secret recipe' for the Thanksgiving turkey.

The secret ingredient, we've discovered, is usually 20 extra minutes in the oven and a fire extinguisher.

Our family's Thanksgiving dinner is like a recipe for disaster

Because we're always mixing relatives and politics

In my family, we have a special Thanksgiving tradition

where we all take a deep breath and pretend to like each other's cooking

I've got a fowl feeling about this year's Thanksgiving dinner
