As the title suggests, the game gives the viewer interactive instructions on how to cook a Thanksgiving turkey through a simple flash presentation. A quiet musical loop of Bach's Minuet in G major (BWV Anh. 116) plays in the background, subtly encouraging viewers to turn up their volume. At the beginning, viewers are supposed to choose one of four turkeys in different sizes from a virtual grocery store. Then the instructions begin, describing things like thawing the turkey, removing the neck and giblets, and the kitchen utensils that will be required. The instructions are illustrated with short animations from time to time.
