"Cooking with Edith Prickley" is a memorable SCTV sketch featuring the recurring character Edith Prickley demonstrating how to prepare a turkey dinner. The sketch is notable for being performed in one continuous take with no edits, showcasing Andrea Martin's professional comedic timing. Edith uses a Rhythm Ace drum machine to accompany her cooking demonstration, incorporating songs like "Macho Man," "The Girl from Ipanema," and "Love Me Tender" while preparing the meal. The sketch combines absurdist humor with parody of cooking show conventions, as Edith anthropomorphizes the turkey and creates an increasingly chaotic but entertaining culinary demonstration.
