The sides include a green jelly-bean casserole, gummy cranberry sauce, and a cookie and caramel stuffing. However, at the center of this sugar-fest, is a 20-lb, 25,000-calorie gummy turkey. At least the kiddie table will finally feel included this year.

Summer may be over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a few tan lines at Thanksgiving. Pop Sugar is here to show us how to make our own Tan Line Turkey.

With a large bird, dry spices and some well-placed tin foil, the beach bird will certainly be a big hit this Turkey Day… Even if you’re celebrating in a warm-weather State and already have tan-lines.

What They Really Ate At The First Thanksgiving

When we think of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner — the requisite turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and creepy uncles comes to mind.

Guardian Food takes us back to the very first Thanksgiving meal in 1621, showing us that it was far from the meal that’s now synonymous with giving thanks.

Turkey probably wasn’t even on the menu, as wild turkeys may have been a bit too fast for the pilgrims to hunt. Ducks and geese, more the early-settler’s speed, were the go-to bird — while the absence of sugar at the time, would’ve made cranberry sauce impossible.

We have to imagine that pilgrims and native Americans had questionable relatives though. See… just like Thanksgiving.
