Minnesota Governor Tim Walz declined to pardon a 41.8-pound turkey, which will instead be served at Thanksgiving.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz accepted a 41.8-pound turkey named Tom as part of a symbolic presentation following the defeat of the Harris-Walz presidential ticket. Unlike President Biden, Walz did not pardon the turkey, stating that "in Minnesota we know turkeys are delicious." The turkey, raised by Future Farmers of America leader Paisley VonBerge, will be served at her family's Thanksgiving dinner. Minnesota leads the nation in turkey production, with 38.5 million birds raised in 2023. Walz emphasized the need for bipartisan cooperation in the divided state legislature.
