You can have the thigh.

This is the best part of the turkey and if I don’t at least one turkey leg a year, my year will be ruined.

I cannot– and will not– share the leg. While I eat it I like to act like a barbarian. I tear off bits of meat with my teeth, grunt, fart, and drink beer. Now if I only liked football, then I could really have the true American experience. I remember watching my uncles act this way during our Christmas gatherings and they always stole the legs…bastards.
It’s nice to live in a country where the turkey is a new concept.

Happy Holidays everyone!
