With
Overall, while Turkey Rider is a simple 2/2 zombie in terms of stats, he is a really good zombie that benefits both the and  classes, and large groups of zombies in general. He can benefit Cat Lady or Zookeeper since he is a pet zombie, and Imp Commander or Toxic Waste Imp since he is an Imp zombie as well. Additionally, once Turkey Rider is destroyed, he gives Leftovers, which is an amazing card, only costing 2 brains to give all zombies +1/+1. He greatly benefits Paparazzi Zombie, Unlife of the Party, Trick or Treater, Mad Chemist, and Trickster as Turkey Rider is a zombie that gives a trick.

If you want the earn Leftovers quickly, allow Turkey Rider to be destroyed by raising their strength to force a reaction, or play him against a strong plant. Furthermore, you can use Barrel of Deadbeards or Fireworks Zombie as Z-Mech to hurt or destroy Turkey Rider. Avoid using Mixed-Up Gravedigger, however, as he will protect him from any harmful tricks and abilities during the Plants Play phase and remove any damage Turkey Rider has taken beforehand.

Against
Turkey Rider does not do too much harm to you on his own due to his mediocre stats. However, your opponent may take advantage of this and boost Turkey Rider, which forces you to either destroy it, or lose the game. Destroying it is easy, as any instant-kill cards like can take care of it, but if you destroy Turkey Rider, your opponent obtains Leftovers, a very useful card, which is not good for you. To get around this, Bounce Turkey Rider to reset his stats and prevent your opponent from earning Leftovers.
