Every Thanksgiving, more than 46 million turkeys are eaten across the United States — according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 🦃
That’s more birds consumed in one day than any other time of the year. But behind every golden roast lies one of America’s most complex food operations. How can factories raise, process, and deliver tens of millions of birds — all in time for a single meal?
Captain Discovery takes you behind the scenes of holiday production lines — from glazed Krispy Kreme donuts to simmering cranberry sauce and buttery pecan pies. Discover how timing, tradition, and technology come together to feed a nation in How It’s Made: Turkey, Krispy Kreme Donuts, Cranberry Sauce, Pecan Pie.
