'MythBusters' Thanksgiving Special: Alton Brown Cooks Turkey Dinner With Jamie And Adam (VIDEO)

A 'MythBusters' Thanksgiving: Car-Cooked Turkey Dinner With Alton Brown

The "MythBusters" are tackling Turkey Day with gusto, and we've got an exclusive sneak peek at their attempt to cook an entire Thanksgiving feast -- prepped by none other than science-happy chef and self-professed "MythBusters" fan Alton Brown ... under the hood of a car.

Jamie and Adam have the same attitude they do going into all their experiments, no matter how bizarre: If it's possible, they're gonna do it. But the chef doesn't seem so sure: "OK, this is an entire buffet of potential doom for me, but here we go," Brown says.

Watch the exclusive sneak peek of the Thanksgiving "MythBusters" (Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Discovery) above to see how they'll tackle this meal, which consists of a turkey broken down into three preparations -- some roasted, some confit style and some baked over herbs -- dressing, sweet potatoes, asparagus, gravy, brussels sprouts in blue cheese, creamed corn and mini pies, which will bake over the air cleaner. Naturally.

"I'm also hiding one turkey leg someplace just for me, in case everything else goes to hell in a handbasket," Brown says, only half-kidding.

"We've done a lot of things on this show that, well, they're not exactly practical," Jamie says. "And this is one of those things. You're better off with an oven, but the attempt is interesting." We couldn't agree more.

Fire up your engines, watch the clip above, then tell us: Do you think any of the food will be edible?

"MythBusters" airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Discovery.
