060/365 - Jim - Pop goes the turkey

( f/5 70mm 1/60 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Theme is turkey. We had a Thanksgiving dinner with my parents today. It was quite the feast. This is the pop-up timer that most turkeys come with. When the tip of the timer reaches 185 degrees, it melts a glob of metal similar to solder and releases the plastic red stick. Then a spring pops it out. Pretty interesting little gadget if you are easily amused.
