How to Make a Wish on a Wishbone. After your family enjoys a home-cooked turkey or whole
chicken, have a little fun by carefully finding the wishbone and making a wish. You will need
Wishbone Opponent and wish. Step 1. Find the wishbone between the neck and the breast.
Peel the skin around the neck back until you locate it. Then grasp firmly and pull the
Y-shaped wishbone out, and set it aside to dry. You can dry the bone on low heat in the
oven for faster results. Step 2. Hold the very bottom of one of the bone's forks with
the tips of your forefinger and thumb with one hand while your opponent grabs the other
side. Step 3. Close your eyes and, on the count of three, make your wish and pull the
wishbone apart. Step 4. Open your eyes and see who has the larger part of the wishbone.
Whoever has the larger part of the wishbone has won and their wish will be granted. Did
you know Turkeys were first domesticated by the Aztecs in Mexico.
