You guys are going at this turkey puppet thing from the wrong direction.
Yesterday, just before taking the big bird out of the oven, we got word that
the kick-boxers had been detained and it was up to cousin Mervyn's uncle
Louie to whip up some after dinner entertainment for our fifteen grandkids.
Louie was in show business back along so he was the logical choice. 

We all watched iin fascination as he set about saving the day. What Louie did
was very carfully remove the meat, bones and stuffing from inside the turkey
- through what we might politely call the armhole. A brief rinse of the skin
under very hot water cleaned it up nicely then a quick blow-dry and, voila!
-, a perfectly good hand puppet. It was headless, of course, but a left-over
turnip on the end of a celery stick through the neck hole solved the problem.


It was quite a thrill to see "The Importance of Being Ernest" done with one
hand puppet ... and a turkey at that.
