The Thankless Turkey: A Cozy Mystery of a Stuffed Bird and Empty Promises: Some turkeys are overstuffed... with secrets

🦃 Turkey farmer and heritage breed expert Tom Gobbler is preparing for the town's annual "Turkey Amnesty" charity event when the event's wealthy organizer—a notorious philanthropist with questionable motives—is found dead in the barn, partially stuffed inside a massive heritage turkey. The police suspect a bizarre farming accident, but Tom notices the turkey has been deliberately over-stuffed and the victim's charity records contain coded entries about fund misappropriation. With his farm's reputation on the line and Thanksgiving charity distributions in jeopardy, Tom must pluck through the evidence to uncover the truth. Assisted by his farmhands and the handsome agricultural auditor analyzing financial records, Tom uncovers a scheme involving charity fraud, turkey substitution, and a plot to exploit small farmers. From suspicious giblet packages that reveal bird switching to feeding records that don't match breed standards, every feather tells a story. But when Tom discovers the victim was systematically replacing heritage turkeys with commercial birds while charging premium prices, he realizes the killer is protecting charitable giving more meaningful than any tax deduction. With the charity event approaching and hungry families counting on Thanksgiving meals, Tom must truss up the evidence before his farm gets permanently basted in scandal.
