Towns compete to become ‘Turkey Capital of the World’

In Cuero, Texas, turkeys are tough as nails. The high school football team - the "Cuero Gobblers" - are a rare example of a turkey mascot being used to hype up crowds on football fields across the country. But that fighting spirit isn't just for the football team. Cuero is also in a friendly rivalry with Worthington, Minnesota, with both towns claiming to be the "Turkey Capital of the World.” NBC News’ Hallie Jackson has the story.
