Interested in getting barred from all future family Thanksgivings? Consider bringing a turkey covered in Hot Cheetos dust to this year's gathering.

We can all thank Reynolds (as in Reynolds wrap) for this creative and unique holiday treat. Please send all feedback to them and not to us.

Per the recipe, all you must do to make a Hot Cheetos turkey is crush the snacks in a food processor, then use them as a coating for your bird -- over a layer of butter, of course. You'll then bake your turkey in an oven bag. Guess which brand of oven bag the recipe calls for? That's right, friends. Reynolds.

You know what? Screw it. We can see this being pretty good. Hot Cheetos bagels, after all, were a bonafide hit.
