White meat, dark meat… or Spam meat? Even the most devout Thanksgiving eaters might have a hard time swallowing these 10 turkey-flavored, truly unique and totally bizarre edibles below. Somebody please pass the (regular-flavored) Alka-Seltzer. ...

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, but while you may be mulling dinner preparations and seating charts and such, don't forget about the kids. They'll need something to do, especially since children who are normally in school will be home for the holiday. Keep thos ...

If you wouldn't eat your dog, why would you eat a turkey?  Here's my reasons PETA. 1. Dogs are cute.  Turkey's are probably one of the ugliest animals. 2. Dog meat is kinda tough.  Ever try it?
