Plot


In the cold open, Boyle dons his "Tommy Gobbler" costume once again, only to accidentally get his costume's tail feathers stuck in the elevator.
On Thanksgiving, Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy (Melissa Fumero) are working on setting a dinner with their families to meet, hoping nothing goes wrong at his mother's house.
At Karen's (Katey Sagal) house, Jake introduces his parents to Amy's parents, Victor (Jimmy Smits) and Camila (Bertila Damas), who brought an additional turkey. As the evening shows no progress, Jake gives Roger (Bradley Whitford) and Victor more wine, but both end up drunk. At dinner, Roger and Victor get into a fight over their social status and compete to see who can finish carving the turkey first, which ends with Roger accidentally cutting his thumb off. At the hospital, Roger and Victor solve their issues and settle on splitting the costs of the wedding evenly.
Meanwhile, Holt (Andre Braugher) and Kevin (Marc Evan Jackson) bring an English Walnut pie from Saratoga Springs they plan to give to Kevin's family. However, the pie goes missing and Holt suspects Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz), Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) and Terry (Terry Crews) of eating it and asks Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) and Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) to find it as they're experts on the matter. While Holt exposes all three of them for lying about what they were doing for Thanksgiving, he finds that none of them actually stole the pie. They eventually discover the pie in the trash, and Holt learns that Kevin himself threw it out as he hates the pie as he finds it disgusting and only enjoys getting it with Raymond because he likes spending time with him upstate. Holt suggests in the future they can just go to Saratoga Springs without getting the pie.

= Critical reviews

"Two Turkeys" received positive reviews from critics. LaToya Ferguson of The A.V. Club gave the episode a "B+" grade and wrote, "This week's 'Two Turkeys' is more on par with that higher level, which isn't always easy for a show to do when its main directive is to simply do a 'holiday episode.' Still, 'Two Turkeys' gets it done in more ways than just Thanksgiving jokes. It's also a more realistic (for these characters) look at the baggage Jake and Amy each be bringing into their marriage, as it's the one where their parents will meet each other before officially becoming family."
Alan Sepinwall of Uproxx wrote, "'Two Turkeys' is perhaps the most guest star-driven installment of the entire series, with large swaths of it feeling less like a Brooklyn Nine-Nine episode than the backdoor pilot for a spin-off about Jake and Amy's fathers. But when those fathers happen to be played by Bradley Whitford and Jimmy Smits — the two of them enjoying both the late-stage West Wing reunion and the opportunity to play increasingly petty and drunk — with Katey Sagal also around to stir up trouble, it's maybe okay to turn the lead couple into horrified observers for once."
