Lights came on to illuminate the stage opposite the speaker. On it stood a bewildered horse, an distracted turkey, a stoic mule, and a guinea pig in a cage.
"There are the guests of honor folks, but what's this? Party crashers?"
While the crowd laughed, another of each species came out (the guinea pig had to be wheeled by an assistant). The animals were of course kept separate to prevent incidents.
"There they are, and don't they all look lovely? Just like the real thing. In fact, they are real! The cloning process is as good as it's going to get and cheap too. That means, heh, we don't need to keep these fellows around! Get your bibs on!"
Thus began the feast to commemorate the first four species people decided to get rid of on purpose, not that there were many more, for few species are so easy to replace and to cook both.

Thanksgiving Fantasy
I don't have a single idea. Riding turkeys? Is that doing anything for anybody? The cornucopia has promise.

Rank Hypocrisy
People get all worked up about turkey and potatoes in vaguely medieval fantasy, but they never say anything about coconuts, and when you break open the coconut there's a spirit inside that gives you magic armor that's obviously just power armor and the spirt becomes your sassy copilot. Can you believe these people?

Twisted Fantasy
What if your fantasy country has turkeys instead of chickens? Oh man, I'm losing my mind!
