I know what you're all thinking.
The answer is no.
In addition to being a festive holiday dinner, the turkey is also a variant of the "High-Five" Incorporated by what I believe to be a bunch of black guys.
The turkey is done by offering someone a high five, then quickly forming your hand into a fist and meeting your partner's high five with the end of your first, and shouting TURKEY! Depending on your partner's disposition, results will vary.
I swear, if you turkey me I'm going to loving kill you.
