WP:EN Turkey Bowling– it's a thing. 

Fb: "Turkey bowling," invented in 1988, is based on ordinary bowling, but with the notable absence of a bowling ball–and use of a frozen turkey in a grocery aisle. 

t: Invented in 1988, "Turkey bowling" is like ordinary bowling–except with frozen turkeys at the grocery store. http://buff.ly/1PPkM1b

t: Invented in 1988, "Turkey bowling" incorporates elements of ordinary bowling–and some frozen poultry. http://buff.ly/1PPkM1b
