Okay, turkeys can't fly. Or can they?

Actually, turkeys can fly! No, really?

Gee, I wonder if you have to pay for another seat?

We all know, or should know, that the TSA has strict guidelines about things you can actually bring with you in the cabin of your flight, but surprisingly they will accept a turkey no less.

Stuffing. Cooked, uncooked, in a box or in a bag.

Casseroles. Traditional green beans and onion straws or something more exotic.

Mac 'n' Cheese. Cooked in a pan or traveling with the ingredients to cook it at your destination.

Fresh vegetables. Potatoes, yams, broccoli, green beans, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, beets, radishes, carrots, squash, greens.

Fresh fruit. Apples, pears, pineapple, lemons, limes, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, kiwi.

That's basically an entire meal!

However, there are some Thanksgiving foods you cannot bring into the cabin, and if you do bring them they have to be in checked baggage.

Here are the items TSA says you cannot bring into the cabin:

Cranberry sauce. Homemade or canned are spreadable, so check them.

Gravy. Homemade or in a jar/can.

Wine, champagne, sparking apple cider.

Canned fruit or vegetables. It’s got liquid in the can, so check them.

Preserves, jams and jellies. They are spreadable, so best to check them.

and, Maple syrup.

Save travels and happy Thanksgiving!
