I have nothing against turkey. We eat turkey for Thanksgiving in my house.

If you think about a Thanksgiving dinner, it's really like making a large chicken.

Turkey is fine, but if I don't have the sides, forget about it. And cornbread stuffing is at the center of my plate. I will have about six sides and then a little bit of turkey and gravy.

Turkey, unlike chicken, has very elegant characteristics. It has more of a cache than chicken. Turkey is a delicacy, so it should be presented in such a way.

If you are buying a larger turkey than usual, make sure it will fit in the oven.

Most people don't realize turkeys are friendly, they're social, they're loyal, they have emotions.

As a South African, the idea of turkey was new to me. And confusing. It's about the least flavorful bird on the planet.

Tiny quails may not seem as impressive as a mammoth turkey, but there is something refreshing about a spread of individual birds on the Christmas table.

Turkeys know their names, come when you call, and are totally affectionate. They're better than teenagers.

I did a gig at a comedy club in Bournemouth where they served a buffet while the acts were on. There was the clang of people carving turkey during the set. If you put comedy and turkey side by side, turkey always wins.
