<p>Just in time for Thanksgiving:</p>

<p>A wild turkey in JP? Or Thanksgiving dinner making a getaway?
By Andrew Ryan, Globe Correspondent</p>

<p>A nervous turkey with brown feathers and a long white neck waddled into the Jamaicaway this morning and backed up traffic for a 1/4 mile.</p>

<p>About 30 cars had to wait patiently while the bird stopped in the middle of the road just after 8 a.m. The turkey, perhaps disorientated by the looming holiday, paused near the Centre Street rotary long enough to slow the morning commute.</p>

<p>“The first thing I thought of was that the turkey wanted to escape with it being Thanksgiving week,” said Jim Connelly, a publicist who was driving from his Rosindale home to his office in Back Bay. “But who’s heard of a turkey farm in JP?”
