I mean think about it... Turkey might be a bit of an oddball on Thanksgiving 
. I get that people love it for nostalgic reasons or because they're feeling traditional, but come on, we've got so many other delicious options to choose from these days! It's like our taste buds are saying "meh" when the turkey takes center stage.
And yeah, let's be real, dry turkey is no party
. I mean, who wants a bird that's all dry and flavorless? Not me, that's for sure. But at the same time, I can see how people might say it's forced them to get creative with their sides... like, if you're gonna mess up the main event, make sure the mashed potatoes are on point! 
I've got a friend who loves turkey, but even she admits that deep-frying it is a total risk
. Like, don't even try if you can't handle the drama! But hey, at least she's found ways to make it work with brining and basting... and let's be real, butter makes everything better 
.
Maybe the real secret to turkey's enduring appeal is just that it's tradition, plain and simple. Like Paz said, "trad is ok"
. And hey, even if the meat itself isn't always the best, at least we can all agree on one thing: Thanksgiving is about more than just the food (although, let's be real, the food is pretty important too!).
