It's the centerpiece on your Thanksgiving dinner table - and one of the dumbest birds in the animal kingdom. Yet, the turkey has managed to survive since the dinosaurs.

From the moment a baby turkey pecks through its shell to the factory that transforms turkey guts into crude oil, we'll see a world few have ever seen. Then, it's a tour of the Butterball factory in North Carolina where millions of domesticated turkeys are processed into meat, a trip inside the head of a wild turkey during a hunt in the Montana wilderness, and a stop at America's most famous turkey restaurant - The Strongbow Inn - for a plate of turkey testicles and turkey eggs. We'll also get some tips on preparing the most turkey succulent recipes.

From pets to presidential pardons, it's an up-close look at the feisty fowl on MODERN MARVELS: TURKEY.
