Overview
Synopsis
It is Thanksgiving and Grandma and Grandpa have been busy preparing the family feast. They just have one more job...prepare the turkey. Unfortunately the turkey overhears his fate and he pales at the thought of losing his head! Granddaughter, Terri, is sent out to kill the turkey but the turkey keels over at the sight of the ax. Using CPR, Terri brings him back to life and the turkey's life is spared. Maybe pork chops will be better this year?!
