Heard a local news blurb, obviously from a network feed, that stated that one would need to eat several whole turkeys to get enough Tryptophan to make one drowsy! So, don't blame the turkey for your lack of sleep driving to grandma's house, drinking a little too much and eating too many carbohydrates causing drowsiness.

As for "trust", a turkey is probably not the best animal with which to discuss that topic...

Bringing the whole topic down several levels intellectually, it reminds me of this one....

In the UK, animal charities put out car-window stickers urging people not to buy animals as gifts, saying "A dog is for life, not just for Christmas".

A joker responded with his version.... "A turkey's not for life, it's just for Christmas"

I ate lots of turkey last week, and I don't believe this clap trap. Who is this author anyway? You can't even be sure if that's just a pen name. What makes him/her such an expert? I just don't buy it. Now, where's that turkey sandwich??
