Nice stylized turkey. Blue background made it too easy to solve.

Cute, but not really a puzzle. A puzzle needs to have white spaces.

The bird is darling, but the puzzle needs white, to be a puzzle!

Why are you going to have a song bird for Thanksgiving? They're not very filling, and people definitely fight over the drumstick!

I almost categorically give non-white-containing puzzles athe highest rating to counteract the sometimes outright nasty rhetoric toe-ing a party line against color-full entries. This one in particular was complex enough to have some challenge. And truthfully, sometimes, especially late at night I wish I could instantly call up a super-easy fill-in just to assuage my thoughts towards sleep...
My own top criteria for a good puzzle image are aesthetics and recognizability. If an image benefits from having no or little white, that's more pleasing a solution than some of the stilted stick figures doing something recognizable via the written description. But that said, I have to say this image would greatly benefit aesthetically from the inclusion of white, namely in the tail feathers and belly of what is definitely not a turkey, stylized or otherwise....
