Jason Garrett Says He Kept Turkey Leg From 1994 Thanksgiving Game Frozen For 15 Years

When it comes to Jason Garrett’s playing career, one game is remembered among them all.

It was a Thanksgiving Day game in 1994 when Garrett started at quarterback for a banged-up Dallas Cowboys team on Thanksgiving against the Green Bay Packers. Garrett completed 15 of 26 passes for 311 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in a 42-31 win.

This Thanksgiving, NBC showed footage of Garrett receiving his customary turkey leg as the man himself called the Miami Dolphins’ prime-time game against the Packers.

“The key question is what happened to the turkey leg?” play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico asked Garrett.

“You know something? I had it in the freezer. It was in tin foil. I probably had it for 15 years,” Garrett replied.

That turkey leg has no business still being frozen.
