'''Franklin''' is a [[turkey]] in the {{SER}} who appears during [[Turkey Day]]. After his debut in {{PG}}, Franklin appears in all subsequent games except {{WW|short}}. Franklin does not appear in {{DnM}} or {{DnM+}}, instead debuting in {{PG}}, making him and [[Farley]] the only special characters in the series to be given this treatment. Franklin may be named after {{Wp|Benjamin Franklin}}, who supposedly preferred the {{Wp|wild turkey}} to the {{Wp|bald eagle}} as the national bird of the United States.

Franklin is a pink turkey. His eyelids and beak are lavender. His big round half-closed eyes have large and thick magenta linings, white rims, grayish-purple irises, and large blue pupils. His magenta snood is also his nose. His neck's feathers are magenta. His wings for arms and tail's feathers are both dark-purple and light-purple with white tips. His legs are pink talons with dark-brown stripes.

Franklin makes his debut in international versions of {{PG}}. [[Tortimer]], the mayor, invites him for dinner and intends for him to be the main course. During this time, Franklin hides behind obstacles such as [[tree]]s, buildings and signs, and waits for the player to bring him pieces of silverware from the banquet. Franklin believes that if the player pilfers the utensils, the villagers will be unable to serve him. For each piece brought to him, the player receives one piece of the Harvest Series.

If the player talks to the villagers during the Harvest Festival, they talk about where they've seen Franklin. The player can also get a map coordinate clue each time they speak to a villager. While in one hiding place, Franklin will accept only one {{I|knife and fork|PG}} set, so if players wish to give him another, they must move from the hiding place until Franklin disappears and search for him again.

In {{NL}}, Franklin acts as a chef, rather than the 'main course' of the Harvest Festival. He asks the player to find ingredients that allow him to cook dishes, and hands out unique rewards upon doing so. Some of these ingredients must be obtained from villagers by completing tasks, while others, such as [[fish]], have to be caught. There is also one secret ingredient for each dish that is required in order to receive all the unique items, and the villagers may tell the player what this is. Unlike previous games, Franklin does not hand out furniture from the Harvest Series, although he hands out the {{I|fruit basket|NL}} and the {{I|cornucopia|NL}}; the fruit basket can be obtained when getting the first secret ingredient correct, while the Cornucopia is obtained after the player makes all of the dishes.

{{I|Franklin's poster|NH}} can be obtained from [[Nook Shopping]] after inviting him to [[Harv's Island|Photopia]] via his [[amiibo]] card.

''Hello, <span style="color:#F28903;">Franklin</span> here. Oh! Is that <span style="color:#2ECC71;">Player</span>? What's up, gobble gob?''<br>

''A trip to your <span style="color:#22ABBD;">campsite</span>?! Hm! I'd love to take some time to kick back and stretch my wings out there...''<br>

''But a chef's work is never over!<br> I've got hungry customers to feed, so I'm stuck here for now.''<br>

''But I appreciate the invite! Next time I see you, I'll be there cooking up more delicious dishes.''

*Franklin's [[birthday]], [[October]] 10, is one of the possible days that {{Wp|Thanksgiving (Canada)|Canadian Thanksgiving}} can take place on. This is likely intentional, as the other [[special character]]s related to [[holiday]]s, such as [[Jingle]] and [[Jack]], have birthdays that are significant to their own holiday.

**Likewise, he shares his birthday with [[Benedict]].

*If the [[player]] cuts down any [[tree]]s Franklin is hiding behind, he will be frightened.

|fr-m=Twist on the French word "Dindon" meaning "Turkey."

|es-m=From ''guinda'' meaning "cherry," a common turkey stuffing.
