This year there will be some PB&J at the White House for Thanksgiving.
The two turkeys that will receive the annual presidential pardon and be spared from the dinner table are Peanut Butter and Jelly, the White House announced Thursday.
President Joe Biden will pardon the birds during a ceremony Friday.
One will be named the official turkey of the White House while the other will be an alternate, but both will have the same fate — not to be someone’s dinner next week.
They were selected from a farm in Jasper, Indiana, WDRB reported.
Once they make their Washington, D.C. rounds, they will be taken to Purdue University, where they will live out their days at the Department of Animal Sciences in the College of Agriculture, the Lafayette Journal & Courier reported.
The school will study them over the next few months so students can learn about poultry production and the industry, the newspaper reported.
