People Share Their Weirdest, Most Awkward Thanksgiving Dinner Moments

It looks like there are a lot of turkey-related incidents on this list, which makes you wonder if maybe not everyone’s equipped to cook turkey. Cooking a turkey isn’t child’s play, and there are a lot of things that can go wrong. Here’s another turkey disaster story that ended up with an alarmed call to 911.

This person was preparing for their Thanksgiving holiday dinner (we’re assuming) when they heard screaming from the window. They looked outside and saw a young lady running and screaming with a flaming turkey in her hands. She threw it in the trash, which caught on fire, and they proceeded to call 011 to have the fire department put out the fire. We can only imagine this was her first and last attempt at cooking a turkey.
