Paul Horton’s ‘bird drop’ brings family, Thanksgiving flavor together
- Arizona meteorologist Paul Horton marks Thanksgiving with a family tradition he calls the "bird drop," counting down before lowering the turkey into a fryer while relatives watch from a safe distance.
- Horton shared his turkey-frying routine on Desert Table alongside Scottsdale Fire Capt. Dave Folio, who gave safety advice and described his own oven-bag method.
- The segment pairs holiday flavor with fire safety: Folio urges cooks to stay nearby, keep children and pets back, and turn off the flame when lowering or removing the bird.
