Your nose.
This joke plays on the dual meaning of the word “smells.” In one sense, “to smell” means to perceive odors, which is a function of the nose. In another sense, “to smell” can mean to emit an odor. The setup of the joke leads the listener to expect an answer related to the many delicious foods typically associated with Thanksgiving dinner, which are known for their pleasant aromas. However, the punchline humorously twists the expectation by pointing out that the nose, which is the organ responsible for smelling, would technically be the best at “smelling” since it’s the part of the body that does the smelling.
The turkey, because it’s always stuffed with confidence!
