'Modern Family' Season 6 News: Episode 8 'Three Turkeys' Recap
The Thanksgiving episode of "Modern Family' titled "Three Turkeys" delivered a lot of comedic moments as Phil and Luke volunteered to cook the turkey, Claire stresses out over it, and Cam and Mitchell try to convince Lily to dress up for dinner.
Determined to redeem himself from his past culinary failures, Phil offers to cook the Thanksgiving turkey which everyone will feast on at Jay's house. Everyone thinks that Gloria and Jay are in Mexico, but the truth is their plans fell through and they are hiding at their house. They're trying to conceal the fact that they're in the country because they wanted some time away from the family.
Luke helps Phil in the kitchen, and Phil is guided by the soothing voice of Nigella Lawson from the cooking app which he downloaded. Meanwhile, Claire believes that Phil and Luke's turkey won't turn out well, so she secretly prepares another one and enlists Alex to help her. While the two work on the turkey, they gripe about the pressures associated with being "the responsible one" in the family.

Later, Phil's turkey turns out well, and Jay and Gloria are forced to admit that they pretended to be in Mexico so they can escape from the craziness of Thanksgiving.
