Never in my 21 years on this earth have I heard anyone claim that the turkey is their favorite thing about Thanksgiving. If it is, you're probably in the 1% of people on earth that think so. Just saying. So why is turkey the worst part of Thanksgiving? Here are 25 reasons.
It Takes Forever To Cook
GiphyI'm hungry and you're going to be in the oven for 5 hours? Seriously??
It's A Giant Bird
GiphyThe idea alone makes me want to become a vegetarian.
Carving it takes time too
GiphyThe clock is still ticking. I'm still hungry.
It's Just A Giant Piece Of Meat
GiphyWhat's so great about it?? Let me know.
It Always Has The Most Leftover
GiphyBecause most people don't go back for seconds...
Literally Everything On The Table Is Better
GiphyEverything.
Mashed Potatoes Are Better
GiphyIf you don't like potatoes, you're wrong.
Stuffing Is Better
GiphyBut not the kind that goes in the actual bird... *gags*
Sweet Potatoes Are Better
GiphyWith or without marshmallows, roasted, mashed, fried. Still better.
Cranberry Sauce Is Better
GiphyAnd I don't even like cranberry sauce.
Broccoli Cheese Casserole Is Better
GiphyIf you tried it, you'd agree. It's a family staple.
Green Beans Are Better
GiphyEat your greens.
Salad Is Better
GiphyAgain. EAT. YOUR. GREENS.
Brussel Sprouts Are Better
GiphyComing from me, that says a lot.
Dinner Roles Are Better
GiphyBread. Duh.
Mac and Cheese Is Better
GiphyAgain, duh.
Gravy Is Better
GiphyNO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO ON THE TURKEY.
Corn Bread Is Better
GiphyIt totally counts as a vegetable.
Snickerdoodles Cookies Are Better
GiphyI only make these around the holidays and they are 10/10
Pumpkin Pie Is Better
GiphyThe official mascot of thanksgiving dinner.
Apple Pie Is Better
GiphyA personal favorite.
Chocolate Creme Pie Is Better
GiphyChocolate is always better. Always.
Pecan Pie Is Better
GiphyHonestly I can't vouch for this one but I bet I would still enjoy it more than a giant bird.
All The Pies Are Better
GiphyFacts.
I Repeat. IT'S JUST A GIANT BIRD.Â
GiphyIn case you forgot. *shrugs shoulders*
Maybe Thanksgiving isn't REALLY all about the turkey... but I'm still sticking with the fact that Thanksgiving could go without it. Oh well. Have a happy thanksgiving!
