## Caption

With Thanksgiving only a few days away, turkeys are getting ready for dinner tables in the US.
However, one lucky bird — Peas — took the “gravy train to freedom” after being granted the official presidential pardon by President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
“That turkey is so lucky. I’ve never seen such a beautiful turkey,” Trump said of Peas, who ruffled its feathers in front of a crowd of onlookers in the Rose Garden.
Trump announced that Peas won the vote by a “fair and open election” — no fowl play involved, and teased that contestant Carrots refused to concede and demanded a recount, although that didn’t change the outcome.
