A Turkey in a Dining Room on Thanksgiving?

Not that unusual you say.

A wild turkey smashed through a plate glass window at an empty western Pennsylvania restaurant and ended up where millions of its fellow gobblers did on Thanksgiving: a dining room.

Penn Hills police Officer Bernard Sestili says the feathered fowl didn’t survive impact when it barreled into the dining room of the Eat’n Park in Penn Hills on Thursday afternoon. The restaurant was closed at the time.

Sestili says he responded when the building’s alarm went off.

He suspects the turkey may have been roosting in a nearby tree when it “got up this morning and went for his morning flight and flew into the window.”

Modern Family Quotes from "Punkin Chunkin"

It's Thanksgiving on Modern Family and the family members ask "what if?"

Phil wonders whether he would have been a better person, father and husband, if he had applied himself more. Jay (Ed O'Neill) decides Manny (Rico Rodriguez) could use a little more constructive criticism, if only to toughen him up and improve his chances when he becomes a man.

Turkey Tycoon Dies on Thanksgiving Day

Sweet revenge or just ironic?

British turkey tycoon Bernard Matthews -- the man behind the infamous turkey twizzler -- has died at the age of 80 his company said.

His death came on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day in the U.S, a celebration often referred to as "Turkey Day."

Matthews was one of the first businessmen to personally advertise their products on British television, coining the memorable catchphrase, "they're bootiful" in his rich Norfolk accent.

"He is the man who effectively put turkey on the plates of everyday working families and in so doing became one of the largest employers in rural East Anglia and a major supporter of the local farming community," said the company's chief executive Noel Bartram in a statement.

Matthews, the son of a mechanic, left school at 16 and went on to become a household name, only stepping down as chairman of the company on his 80th birthday early this year.

"From simple beginnings, with an initial investment of just 2.50 pounds 60 years ago, Bernard Matthews took the business from 20 turkey eggs and a second-hand paraffin incubator to a successful and thriving multi million pound company," said Bartram.

In recent years his company was dogged by an image problem after the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver maligned turkey twizzlers, one of the company's key product lines. It also was hit hard by the 2007 outbreak of bird flu.  Business has since rebounded,
