30 Holiday Kitchen Fails That Could Only Happen On Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has this magical way of bringing people together… and also exposing who in the family should never be left alone with a turkey again. Every year, someone out there forgets to thaw the bird, scorches the casserole, or summons smoke thick enough to qualify as a weather event. It’s comforting in a weird way.

These hilarious fails are a warm reminder that no matter what happens in your kitchen this year, you’re still doing better than at least a dozen strangers on the internet.
