Players can go around and get the items for the recipes and give them to Franklin, who will prepare the recipes. Each secret ingredient will improve the recipe and please Franklin. He'll then reward players with Turkey Day items.

In order to get these recipes, Animal Crossing players have to complete them with Franklin first. Once they do that, they will appear as DIY recipes in Nook's Cranny for sale. They can purchase them like any other recipe.

As for the rest of Turkey Day, it will look like this:

• Franklin, the Chef this time of year, will appear near Resident Services wearing a hat.
• A cooking table with cookware and ingredients will be set up outside Resident Services.
• Dining tables and other holiday decorations will be set up for the festivities.
• Villagers will put on Thanksgiving hats, carry food and drinks and gather around the plaza.
• Special Thanksgiving music will play all day.

Animal Crossing players can expect Turkey Day to arrive tomorrow at 9:00 AM local time.
