1992 Specials - Wild Turkey
New York policeman, Jed, brings home the last turkey in the shop for Christmas to his wife. Unfortunately it isn't dead, and that's where the fun begins. The turkey comes round just in time to fight back against having its head chopped off and having an onion and three pounds of chestnuts stuffed up its arse. It grabs Jed's gun and holds the couple hostage. After some hairy incidents when it's crime is almost discovered, a plan is hatched for the bird to escape to Turkeyland before it's discovered and meets the same fate as all of its cousins that Christmas.
