Many of the things we love about the ’80s-inspired Duffer Brothers’ series Stranger Things are the same things we love about Thanksgiving: a longing for our old family traditions as we also embrace building new ones. There’s a distinct sense of time and place deeply rooted in our memories that this television show taps into. It’s all strangely familiar in a way that makes it both comforting and scary at the same time.

At the center of both these stories is a Demogorgon. In Stranger Things we know this as the Monster from the Upside Down, often unseen as he looms in darkness. On our Thanksgiving table, the turkey is much the same, a monster to cook, which at once terrifies us and draws us in.

Instead of being intimidated by the monstrous bird, we must face it head-on as Eleven does her own demon, literally flipping the turkey upside down and enrobing it in a dark glaze that is both a nod to this series and to our own ’80s nostalgia.
