Personally, I would hang a wing on the side of the glass, or a foot if I
could get one.

For the most stunning visual effect, omit the cranberry juice and spoon
a glob of jellied cranberry sauce in the glass before pouring in the
hooch mixture -- beautiful! *Just* like a Bellini but with none of the
hard work!

Maybe she can go to the crafts store and get martini glasses with
chicken foot bases ...

You forgot the marshmallow fluff on the sweet potato casserole.

Have we all forgotten that this is the Food Network and we will most
likely just be seeing reruns of last year's holiday shows?

The Turkey-Tini idea sounds scrumptious!

But instead of a frozen cranberry as a decoration (or a boring
Maraschino Cherry) , I would substitute a turkey gizzard. Merely put a
gentle slice in it......but don't slice it all the way through. Clamp
the sliced part on the rim of the glass.......after the rim has been
rubbed in the turkey fat as some canny cook suggested. A good touch
might be to dip the rim (after it is coated in fat) in some coarsely
grated black pepper.

For those who are teetotalers, a lovely pumpkin toast will suffice.
Pour part of a can of pureed pumpkin into a tall highball glass. Add
1/4 C. of cold gravy, 1/2 teas. of juice from a can of anchovies, 2
pickled capers and 1 teas. of turmeric. Stir gently and add ice. For
a lovely garnish, sprinkle with chopped collard greens and place a
small uncooked Calamari on the glass as though it is crawling up the
side. Who could resist this?

But there's no turkey in that drink! Replace the wishbone with a
turkey drumstick and now you're talking turkey!
