When you ask the assistant to set a turkey timer, Google Assistant will answer your requests with a gobble. Taking this fun further, if you own smart displays like the Nest Hub, Google will display a cute illustration of a turkey.

This could be used for some laughs between family members during our current situation of social distancing. You may also get inspired for preparing a wonderful, juicy, mouth-watering turkey dinner.

All you got to do is ask your smart display to set a “turkey timer for x minutes/hours.” To which the Assistant will reply in gobble for its confirmation. And you will see a visualization of what you have in your stove right on your smart display. But if you do not have a smart display, then you will only hear the gobble sound.
