Okay, I’ll admit it: I didn’t mean to become the person who laughs at turkey puns. It just kinda… happened. One year, during Thanksgiving, my cousin hit me with a “Let’s get basted,” and I completely lost it. Like, embarrassingly lost it. Ever since then, it’s been a slippery slope of gobbles, giggles, and way too many bad jokes about birds.
Now here I am, writing a whole thing about turkey puns and jokes. I’m not proud, but I’m not ashamed either. These puns are weirdly addicting, and if you’ve ever rolled your eyes so hard at a joke that you actually laughed, you’re in the right place.
So grab your gravy, settle in, and prepare for more puns about turkey than anyone truly needs in one sitting. Trust me—this is gonna be a wild, feather-filled ride.
Let’s Talk Turkey: My Favorite Turkey Puns and Jokes
You know how some people collect stamps or weird spoons from gift shops? I collect turkey puns. No idea how it started, but at this point, it’s basically a personality trait. I’ve got a folder on my phone labeled “Bird Nonsense” and I’m not even sorry about it.
There’s just something beautifully dumb about puns about turkey. Like, they’re so bad they wrap back around to being good. I’ve dropped them in group chats, at the dinner table, even on random strangers (don’t ask—it was awkward).
But seriously, there’s magic in dumb wordplay. It’s like, “Hey, life’s a mess, but at least you’ve got this joke about stuffing that makes no sense.” That’s kind of why I wanted to share my favorites—because if we can’t laugh at poultry, what can we laugh at?
