What do you call a running turkey?
Fast food!
Why This Joke Works
"Fast food" normally means quick-service restaurant food, but a turkey that's running is literally fast food — it's food that's moving quickly. The joke redefines the term by taking both words literally instead of as a compound phrase. Simple, clean, and instantly groanworthy.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Ask the question while miming a turkey running (elbows out, bobbing your head). Say "fast food" like you just coined the term. Speed is everything in the delivery — say it quick.
Perfect for:
- •Thanksgiving dinner prep conversations
- •Driving past a fast food restaurant
- •When a turkey (or any bird) runs across the yard
