This comic irrationally annoys me. I don't usually let my suspension of disbelief wane to CinemaSins levels, but the fact that Jon is talking about roasting a turkey that's evidently already thoroughly cooked and prepared dealt a blow to it. So I decided to fix it, and I wouldn't put it above Jon to not realize that the turkey he bought was already cooked until he got home and took a closer look at it.

Jon: A 20-pound turkey!
{Jon pats the turkey}
SFX: Pat pat pat
Jon: We can roast it, and—
{Jon stops what he's saying as he realizes his error}
Jon: Wait, it's already cooked
