The sketches on Gold Turkey feature numerous National Lampoon actors, including Christopher Guest, Bill Murray, John Belushi, Brian Doyle-Murray, Chevy Chase, Harold Ramis, Gilda Radner, Joe Flaherty, and Ed Subitzky.

Gold Turkey was also subsequently issued as a CD. The title of the album is a reference to the phrase "cold turkey", meaning to suffer sudden withdrawal from an addictive substance; John Lennon performed the song Cold Turkey. "Gold Turkey" as shown in the cover photograph by Arky & Barrett is a visual pun on the golden statue awards for entertainment, such as the Oscars and the Emmy Awards, and is simultaneously a verbal pun on the word "turkey" meaning a box-office bomb or entertainment failure.
