Out of 10 Thanksgiving episodes, the one with the turkey is a quintessential Thanksgiving scene we can watch again and again. Although, other episodes were equally hilarious - remember the iconic football game, the Geller cup, Chandler's in a box, or when Monica dated Richard's son and Chandler lost his toe? Every year, it was a big, busy holiday for "Friends."
