It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a frozen turkey: Alaska's Thanksgiving dinner drop

05:46

In South Central Alaska every year, Esther Keim drops frozen turkeys out of her — or her friends' — airplane so that those in the most remote areas can enjoy a turkey dinner like the rest of us.

Keim joins host Robin Young to talk about the work she does as part of her Alaska Turkey Bomb and how her mission got started.

This segment aired on November 27, 2025.
