This is a metapuzzle and uses the answers to the puzzles in this round.
Puzzle | Solution |

Cryptocurrencies | MONEY MARKET FUND |
Curved Tangrams | BOSTON METRO WEST |
Drum Line | JOHN PHILIP SOUSA |
Just the One | LOOSE LEAF BINDER |
Only Fans | WIND CHILL FACTOR |
Each puzzle answer in this round has a 4 letter word, a 5-letter word, and a 6-letter word (in a different order):
The combination 6-4-5 is not present in the puzzle answers, but the rows of turkeys match this order in their numbers of feathers.
Each row of Turkeys can be assigned the words with length equal to the number of feathers on that row, in alphabetical order. If solvers do not have all puzzle answers (or even if they do), the assignment of word-to-turkey can be determined with logic. In the easier version of the puzzles, the three turkeys from the same puzzle answer share a pattern on their body.
Each row of Turkeys represent a game of Wordle, as hinted by the "popular games" mentioned in the flavor text and the yellow and green feathers.

Answer | P | A | R | D | O | N | F | O | W | L | M | O | U | T | H |
Although the 4-letter words can logically be solved with FOLW or FOWL, only one is a word. Likewise for the 5-letter words, only one of MOUTH and MOUHT is a word.
So reading down the three games of Wordle, the solution is PARDON FOWL MOUTH.
