Photograph caption reads: "Raised on wheat, grain and a "little leftover spaghetti" this 52-pound turkey met his maker yesterday, soon after the photo was taken. Ernesto Molinari, 67, the proud owner of the late fowl, said the bird was destined for his daughter's Thanksgiving table, where 20 members of the Molinari brood will feast. After the tom was slaughtered and dressed, Molinari, who lives at 6218 Lexington Ave., ended up with 37 pounds of fowl for his feast". Photograph dated: Nov. 26, 1980.
