First things first, Turkey Day is celebrated on November 25 No exact time has been confirmed yet, but if you want a giveaway that the event has begun, expert music will be playing on your island

Another sign that the event has begun: a turkey called Franklin should appear outside Resident Services along with a cooking table Many residents will be celebrating in this area as well, eating and drinking Franklin's food

Talk to Franklin and he will ask you to help him gather the ingredients for his harvest feast With these ingredients, you can create traditional Thanksgiving recipes and obtain specialized Turkey Day decorations and furniture Up to 12 different Turkey Day furniture items and their recipes can be obtained

Of course, it is not a simple task You have to go far and wide to find materials by fishing, diving, or gathering Furthermore, Franklin requires three to four main ingredients per recipe

Why the hidden ingredients? Simply put, most are obvious and hidden flavors are implied

Nintendo may introduce new ingredients this year, but here are the ingredients Franklin requested last Thanksgiving and how to get them:

Once you have the ingredients for each recipe (there are usually four recipes in total), take them to Franklin and he will reward you If you succeed in guessing the secret ingredient and bring it to him, you will receive an additional reward
