Logan and Brown drive north to the beautiful Hokianga Harbour to hunt down a wild turkey for a Kiwi Thanksgiving dinner. First stop is the village of Kohukohu on the northern side of the harbour where they meet Francis Pirini, Maître d' of the Waterline café. Hoki hospitality is famous and the boys are not disappointed - Francis offers them the use of the café for their cook up.

Location sorted, now they need to source some ingredients. Brownie grabs a lift up the harbour to wild turkey country in Bun Slade's boat while Logie sticks to the road, heading for a pumpkin patch on the southern side of the harbour.

John Wooster's ancestors came out from Maine in the United States and three generations later John is still growing pumpkins on this land. John pulls a fresh pumpkin and his wife Marion shows Logie how to make a traditional American pumpkin pie.

Further round the harbour Bun drops Brownie off at Chris McGarry's farm. Chris and nephew Kelly greet Brownie with turkey calls, it's evident he's come to the right place. After crossing a paddock with rodeo bulls, Brownie gets amongst the turkeys. Normally turkeys are hunted while they are roosting at night, but the boys decide to give it a crack in daylight... to no avail. Deciding to revert back to Plan A - the night hunt.

Meanwhile Logie returns to Kohukohu where he chats to Pai Tahere about the importance to the Maori of the next ingredient on his list - kumara.

Then it's off to Dargaville the kumara capital of New Zealand where he meets one of the region's biggest and keenest growers, Warren Suckling. The drive round the harbour takes him through remnants of an ancient Kauri forest where conservationist Stephen King introduces Logie to the Tane Mahuta, the largest rainforest tree in the world.

The sun sets and Brownie is ready to hunt turkey. With Chris and Kelly, they identify a mob roosting and easily grab a couple for the pot. Back at the Waterline Café, Al & Steve serve the turkey as a crumbed schnitzel with a kumara salad and minted slaw. Topped off with the Kumeu River Pinot Noir and Marion's pumpkin pie - it's a complete Thanksgiving meal.
