Is turkey alive when you cook it?

No, turkeys are not alive when you cook them.

Here's why:

* Slaughtering: Turkeys are slaughtered before they are cooked. This means they are humanely euthanized, usually by a method that renders them unconscious.

* Cooking: The process of cooking a turkey involves heating it to a high enough temperature to kill any remaining bacteria and make it safe to eat.

It's important to remember that eating meat is part of a food chain, and while we enjoy turkey as food, we respect the animal and ensure its humane treatment.
