"House of Turkey" is the forty-fourth episode of House of Mouse and the series' Thanksgiving episode. It originally aired on Toon Disney as part of the "Night of a Thousand Toons" marathon on September 2, 2002.
Synopsis
It's Thanksgiving at the House of Mouse, and Mr. Turkey (the turkey that Mickey, Donald, and Goofy were trying to catch in Turkey Catchers) is the club's special guest. He looks forward to showing the audience that he is more than simply a flightless bird who gets chased around every November. However, while he is feasting on corn in his dressing room, Gus pops out a nearby closet and starts chasing after him with an axe. Goofy manages to stop Gus' antics, but then Gaston starts hunting him until Daisy makes him stop and go back to his table. However, Daisy then starts chasing Mr. Turkey around, begging for his autograph.
Mr. Turkey manages to hide from Daisy in his dressing room, but soon finds himself being chased by Gus again until Mickey announces that it's time for him to perform. Mr. Turkey goes onstage and gives his performance (which consists of just making his gobbling noise to the tune of "Turkey in the Straw"). Mr. Turkey then goes backstage and complains to Mickey that the guests want to eat him. Mickey insists that their guests aren't uncivilized like that, but Minnie then informs him that the hungry guests are revolting and attempting to eat their fellow guests. Mr. Turkey has an idea to satisfy them - he has Mickey dress up as a turkey, thus luring the hungry guests (and Gus) out, while Mr. Turkey, dressed as Mickey, performs the host duties for the end of the show.

Trivia
- The segment in which Cinderella, Eeyore, and Mushu say what they're thankful for was recycled from (or into) Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse.
- The way Gus chases Mr. Turkey around the house is similar to how Chef Louis chases Sebastian in The Little Mermaid.
