Bob’s on a mission again to perfect his Thanksgiving turkey, this time opting for a meticulous three-day brine process. But as Thanksgiving nears, the family faces a perplexing situation: they wake up to find Bob’s prized turkey floating in the toilet. Determined, Bob replaces it, only for the new one to meet the same fate the following morning. What’s the deal with these toilet-bound turkeys?
While the whodunnit aspect of the turkey mystery is engaging and wrapped up in a hilarious and heartwarming resolution, what really elevates this episode is how it captures the chaos of Thanksgiving week so perfectly. From family members like Gayle swooping in and stirring the pot, to kids eager to score a seat at the grown-up table, and the all-important quest to nail that turkey—this episode has it all.
And let’s not forget one of the show’s most memorable moments: Bob’s frequent trips to the deli counter, where an employee hilariously misreads his intentions, thinking Bob’s after a romantic escapade every time he stops by for a new turkey. This isn’t just the ultimate Thanksgiving episode for Bob’s Burgers; it might just be one of the best episodes in the entire series. So this Thanksgiving, make sure you revisit this gem and soak up all its delightful chaos.
