How to Prepare a Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey With Rube Goldberg-Style Machines and a Willing Dog

Kinetic artist Joseph Herscher of Joseph’s Machines hilariously demonstrated his personal method of preparing a “fool-proof” Thanksgiving turkey through the the use of very cleverly helpful Rube Goldberg-style machines along a willing dog to help with preparation. “Tchavolo Swing” by the Jews Brothers Band provided a lovely soundtrack, particularly since Herscher’s mother is the singer.

A simple recipe for Thanksgiving turkey, guaranteed to give you a moist delicious turkey every time. Even if you completely forget it’s cooking.

Herscher also provided a similarly zany method for preparing bread.
