The episode kicks off with Guy stopping at a diner in New York City that serves a unique Turkey Chili. The recipe, handed down from generations, consists of shredded turkey mixed with savory spices, beans, and vegetables, topped off with cheese and sour cream. Guy savors the flavors, declaring it as one of the best chilis he's ever tasted.
The next stop on Guy's journey is a drive-in in the heart of Texas that specializes in smoked turkey. Guy is blown away by the succulent meat and the smoky flavor that is at the heart of every dish they serve. The restaurant's signature dish, the Turkey Leg, is a mammoth serving that will leave meat lovers salivating. Guy tries it with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy, and the combination is a match made in heaven.
From Texas, Guy makes his way to a tiny diner in Mississippi that serves a unique "Mama's Famous Turkey and Dressing," that has been in their family for generations. The dish consists of slow-roasted turkey with a blend of southern spices and a fluffy dressing made of cornbread, celery, and onions. Guy remarks that this is the real taste of the south.
The next destination on Guy's list is a small diner in Louisiana that specializes in Turkey Gumbo. The dish is prepared with a slow-cooked roux, okra, and a mix of spicy sausages that add an authentic Louisiana flavor. Guy finds the dish delicious, with just the right amount of spice to keep the palate entertained.
Guy's final stop on his 'All Kinds of Gobble Gobble' mission takes him to a diner in California that serves a dish that is not traditionally turkey-based, but instead, is made with turkey replacements. The vegan Turkey-less Sandwich is a meatless dish made from plant-based proteins, but with all the flavors of Thanksgiving. Guy is amazed by the quality of the food and the creativity of the chef.
