PTIJ - Giving turkey to G-d
I would say that this is certainly a reference to turkey on Thanksgiving. This is based on the following Talmud passage just discovered in the Mi Yodeya Genizah. It reads:

PTIJ: Hadar walks in and we're super happy. Why?
This is because Hadar is one of the 2 comedians mentioned in Mishlei 31:25:
עֹז־וְהָדָ֥ר לְבוּשָׁ֑הּ וַ֝תִּשְׂחַ֗ק לְי֣וֹם אַחֲרֽוֹן׃
When Oz or Hadar make embarrassing jokes (Lebusha), you will laug …

Yes, this refers to what is commonly known as a 9. However, as noted in my answer to PTIJ: Worst post contest: 5778, the Torah cannot mention nine, due to the known Maamar:

PTIJ: It's not Rosh Chodesh Adar for me yet. Do I need to filter PTIJ posts?
I would think that due to the concept of דאקדומי פורימתורה לא מקדמינן (which is the Girsa of some Acharonim on Megillah 5a), one would be Chayav to filter it. However, the Ritva (Megillah 5a) says:
