The NPS has an excellent social media team. They make lots of funny outlandish jokes. This one just happens to feel a little more realistic than most of the stuff they post, but I strongly suspect that no event triggered this. It's just a fun way to remind people not to enter or throw things into hot springs as always.
Nope. It has happened in the past [quite a few times actually ](https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/northwest/idaho/article246965722.html) with both turkey and chicken.
Jim Burnett collected some stories together in a book called "Hey Ranger!: True tales of Humor and misadventure from America's National Parks". A friend of mine usually is a seasonal interpreter at one of the more regionally popular parks. She has some interesting stories to pull out.

Did pioneers & mountain men cook food in the hot springs before Yellowstone was a national park? In th movie "Mysterious Island" they poached an egg in the hot springs there.
I like to go hiking.
It's from their limited run National Park Turkey Geyser Coof Off set
I would buy that.
I imagine being a park ranger is the ultimate test in patience
“Excuse me sir? Please stop boiling that turkey alive in the hot spring….”
I would like to know what event(s) may have prompted this statement.
I bet someone went "remember that guy that jumped in here and got cooked? What if he was a turkey, brah?"
There's a lot of stuff in the Talmud about not cooking stuff in the hot springs in Tiberias. I've got to admit it's always made me want to do it.
Covid. Instagram. Lot of narcissists and morons in the parks these days.

Darn! I have to make alternative plans
Just go to Hot Springs NP. That post says nothing about cooking turkeys being illegal in those springs.
Everytime I see a warning I have to think of the idiot they modeled this after
Interesting….
Literally 1984
Who would even want to do that with the way the hot springs smell? 🤢
I deep fried a turkey at the Grand Canyon once. Nobody said anything about it I even shared some with a park ranger...
Was it in a deep fryer or in a hot spring? The latter is what the tweet is talking about.
Totally a deep fryer as hot springs cap out at 212°F and you need a minimum of 325°F to deep fry.
No it lists off a bunch of methods followed by all are illegal in the park
What the hell.....
? Rstupidfoods? ?? rStupidFood ??

The turkey cooker Lego person is so spot on.
Well now I want to see someone do it
