According to Baker and Newton's law about equal and opposite

reactions, where will the turkey go after you crack off one of the
legs?

The entire leg should snap away from the chassis with a distinct crack, and the rest of the turkey, obedient to Newton’s law about equal and opposite reaction, should roll in the opposite direction, which means that if you are carving at the table the turkey will probably come to rest in someone’s lap.
