    First Person: Relax, Turkey, I'm a Vegetarian

    The Story Behind the Thanksgiving Photo

    By | Yahoo! Contributor Network – Tue, Nov 20, 2012

    Every photo has a story, and on this Thanksgiving, Yahoo! News asked readers to share one photo, and the story behind it, that holds meaning for them. Here's one.

    FIRST PERSON | After Thanksgiving dinner, I decided to take a ride with my family on the back roads, where we discovered this turkey in an unknown yard. This turkey actually gobbled at me and as I approached it, I said "Relax, I am a vegetarian. I only eat Tofurky." Afterward, the turkey actually looked like it was smiling and posed for this picture.

    With that said, I believe Thanksgiving embraces everything we should be thankful for. Whether you want to reminisce about fond memories as you take sips of your moscato or enjoy delicious food in the company of family, friends, and other loved ones, or you simply want to go sightseeing until dinner is done, everything comes into our lives for a reason. And it is for that reason, we should be thankful.
