A Turkey Knocked on My Back Door

How did the turkey know that she was going to eat him??
(See below for the answer!)
1. It was a chill, November Thursday (we can infer, or make a guess that it's Thanksgiving)
2. I'm not going to boil water for tea time with the turkey! Really it's so I can cook him!
3. The more cookies I feed him, the fatter he'll get, which means more turkey for me!
