Give thanks and share some Turkey Day knowledge -- when you're not busy eating -- with friends and family.
It’s that special time of year again -- time for football, family and ridiculous amounts of food. Oh, and it’s also the time to give thanks for football, family and food. Especially football.

David Jaindl recently “talked turkey” and released some interesting facts about Jaindl Farms: Q: How many turkeys do you sell for Thanksgiving? Jaindl: About 400,000 to customers.

Nancy and Willard Miller have been amassing all sorts of turkey collectibles for nearly three decades.
Nancy and Willard Miller of Zionsville aren't sure, but they think they could hold the world record for owning the most turkey collectibles. They have more than 900. After Willard was successfully treated for lung cancer in 1984, his doctor told him to get out and exercise. The Millers decided to walk around flea markets. "He's my big turkey," Nancy joked. So, during their flea marketing, Nancy decided to start picking up turkeys – stuffed, ceramic, glass, knitted, wooden and metal. They have turkey magnets, salt and pepper shakers, cookie jars, jewelry, bags, statues and flags. Naturally, family and friends soon caught on to the trend and increased their collection by giving turkey gifts for birthdays, holidays and anniversaries. For the …
