Roast Turkey

I asked Google to show me pictures for a project I'm working on. I asked for "Roast Turkey." Well, it does look hot there.

EDIT: 99% of the images were of the country, not the bird. I tried "Turkey Dinner." I got pictures of people in Turkey eating dinner.

I think the problem was capitalizing "Turkey". "I Googled "photos of roast turkey" and I got the birds.

Hate to state the obvious, did you try searching for Thanksgiving dinners.

Yes, and it showed Turkish families eating.

Now that's interesting. When I do a search, I never bother with capitals. I guess I capitalized it when I did that search.

EDIT: "Roast Turkey" got me the same pages of turkey pictures. Odd.

These are just one of many images I found by typing in Thanksgiving dinner.

Try roasted turkey instead of roast turkey.

I thought "turkey" would be more specific.

I found a good alternative, and I'll post the picture of this project when it's finished.

Here's why I wanted a picture of a turkey - my Thanksgiving Ukulele. More decorative than practical, but it does sound okay.

It's based on a $21 kit from Amazon.
