Yo, dudes and dudettes! Get ready for a Thanksgiving feast that’s both awesome and spooky with this Over the Garden Wall Turkey recipe. Inspired by the surreal and captivating Cartoon Network miniseries, this dish is sure to tantalize your taste buds and transport you to the Unknown.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole turkey (around 12-14 pounds)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, sage, thyme, rosemary, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Using your fingers, carefully separate the skin from the breast meat. Spread the herb butter mixture evenly under the skin.
- Place the turkey in a roasting pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar and brown sugar. Brush this mixture over the turkey skin.
- Roast the turkey for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh. Baste the turkey with the pan juices every 30 minutes.
- Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can stuff the turkey cavity with chopped apples, onions, and celery.
- If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried herbs instead.
- To make sure the turkey skin gets crispy, broil it for the last few minutes of cooking.
- Serve the turkey with your favorite Thanksgiving side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
This Over the Garden Wall Turkey is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. It’s a delicious and unique way to celebrate Thanksgiving, and it’s sure to get everyone in the spirit of the Unknown.

We know very little about Wirt’s dad. All that is known is that Wirt’s mother remarried, had Greg with a different man, and the two of them don’t get along well. It could be that Wirt’s mom divorced her husband, but it’s also possible that he passed away. If he had, it would have had a significant impact on Wirt’s beliefs about life and death, which would have affected his choices and feelings during his time in the unknown. (I should clarify that I view the Unknown as some sort of purgatory/grey area between life and death. Whatever the next phase of the afterlife may be, those who are in the Unknown are not prepared to go there. Let’s expand on this theory, though: what if Wirt’s father is among the spirits we encounter in the Unknown?
This can only be true if we accept that some people’s personalities and outward appearances slightly alter when they venture into the unknown. I don’t think this is an unreasonable assumption. Take Miss Langtree, for example. I doubt that when she was alive she had a fixation on teaching animals the alphabet. It seems like your perception of reality changes when you’re a resident of the Unknown for long enough. I don’t think the residents of the Unknown know that they are dead (or something close to it). It’s also necessary to assume that they change appearances because if they hadn’t, Wirt would have known his father right away.
Let’s go back Miss Langtree. I believe that the animal school serves as a metaphor for a conflict she experienced while still alive, assuming that she didn’t really run an animal school while she was alive. I’m thinking that she was tormented because she tried to help children her entire life but was never able to establish a connection with them. However, I’m not here to discuss Langtree; rather, I wanted to show how a person’s struggles in the afterlife could be a reflection of their unresolved issues at the time of their death.
My theory is that The Woodsman is actually Wirt’s father, and his emotional struggle over passing away and leaving Wirt behind is symbolized by his struggles with his daughter.
Had Wirt’s father passed away suddenly, as I believe he did, he would have left his wife and young son behind. Wirt’s father felt guilty and afraid to leave his son alone because he knew that his passing would have a severe negative effect on Wirt and that he would struggle with it for years. Because he was unable to let go of his guilt over his own death and his sense that he should have done more for his son than he could, his spirit ended up in the Unknown.
His conflict is represented in the unknown through the Woodsman’s daughter. The Woodsman works nonstop to support his daughter and keep her lantern lit so that her spirit may live on, even though he never gets to see her. This is Wirt’s dad (subconsciously) attempting to make up for the damage he thinks that he caused Wirt. When OTGW reaches its conclusion, both Wirt and the Woodsman reach a sort of peace. The Woodsman, who is meant to be Wirt’s father, comes to the realization that he cannot carry on working tirelessly for his daughter and that he cannot keep thinking about what would have happened to Wirt had he not died. Finally at peace with himself, the Woodsman, aka Wirt’s dad, is able to move on from the Unknown.
Is this theory a stretch? Oh, it’s a huge stretch. However, the conclusion of Over the Garden Wall leaves so much unanswered that I genuinely believe anything is possible. In addition, Wirt’s father’s passing would have affected Wirt’s choices in the Unknown even if the Woodsman is only the Woodsman. I think it’s an interesting idea to think and theorize about.

Anonyme asked:
so how do you rate the ship pinescone?
There are things I really like about Pinescone. (For anyone who doesn’t know, that’s Dipper from Gravity Falls and Wirt from Over the Garden Wall. Their personalities complement each other really well, and even though they are both incessantly anxious, I can see them comforting each other when they become anxious, which is adorable. They would go on all kinds of adventures together, and I would definitely watch a television program with them in it. I don’t personally ship Pinescone, but I like to imagine the two being really good friends.
