Ever almost single-handedly ruin Thanksgiving??? You're not alone. KRZ listeners jumped in Wednesday morning with their all-time greatest Thanksgiving fails! Anyone have that Butterball Hotline number? LOL!

Jess…It slipped from my hands while trying to put it in the roasting pan. I grabbed it quick and used my body to stop it from hitting the floor.
AnnMarie…
My ex sister-in-law thought the insides were stuffing and she cooked it like that
Lisa…1st Thanksgiving I was excited to cook young with energy who knew EVERYTHING back then..Well I cooked the bird with the bag in it
Barb…Not me, but, one year, my mom put the turkey in the oven, and didn't realize until a long time later, the oven was broken!!! Couldn't cook the turkey!
Lisa…Left the giblet bag inside the turkey, went to cut it up and saw it
Renee…As a child I remember our dog took our Turkey off the table, when no one was looking. We all had a good laugh. No Turkey. (“A Christmas Story”)
Heather…I thought I put the turkey to thaw in plenty of time .. woke up thanksgiving morning to a frozen solid bird !!
Ellen…One year the regulator on our propane tanks broke and we almost didn’t have dinner! Thankfully a tech from our propane company came out on Thanksgiving and fixed it!
Nichole…I remember in 2014 we thought the house was on fire during Thanksgiving and here we just ran out of heating oil. Had to try to explain to my almost deaf mother (whom was also next to Stark naked) that the house was possibly on fire. Took almost 10 minutes to get her to understand what was happening and her her out of the house with clothes on.
Nancy…A few years back we undercooked our turkey. Now our Auntie always wants to cook our turkey. She thinks we don’t know how to cook. I’ve cooked many turkeys for big family gatherings and this was the first time ever to undercook it. I just don’t let my husband cook it ever again
Kimberly…I believe my mom ran out of baking sheets, so she put biscuits in a frying pan and put the frying pan in the oven. And forgot about them. When she took them out of the oven, they were burnt to a crisp. My dad, being a smart@ss, teased my mom and grabbed the handle of the frying pan to show off the biscuits. The handle was still hot from being in the oven. It doesn't pay to tease mom
Mariann…The turkey drippings were put in a pot and set aside to make gravy. I thought I was being helpful by cleaning up around everyone. I thought the pot was filled with water soaking, so I dumped it and cleaned the pot.
Jerilynn…A tube of ben gay ended up being cooked with the turkey, so we had no turkey for dinner
Carol…Dog pulled the Ham right off the counter!!! I couldn’t even believe it!! No ham that year!!
