It seems Octomom could not find a turkey big enough for her mammoth brood.

For the notorious personalit­y celebrated leaving rehab by having a slap-up Thanksgivi­ng meal with her 14 children.

But instead of the traditiona­l roasted bird, they bonded over a plate of ham and vegetables instead. According to TMZ, the meal consisted a whole ham, apple sauce, stuffing, and the usual holiday trimmings. Octomom, real name Nadya Suleman, completed her 30-day program at Chapman Rehab on Thursday and immediatel­y headed back to her fancy new house in Palmdale, California to help prepare the feast.

She entered treatment last month for a dependency on antidepres­sion drug Xanax and anxiety issues.

A spokespers­on claimed she was committed to getting better, and had voluntaril­y agreed to attend additional treatment sessions while she lives at home.

While she was away the 37-year-old’s small army of nannies have been keeping the children on strict schedules for sleeping, eating, bathing, and homework.

Nadya, who was previously investigat­ed by child services following allegation­s she was neglecting her children, now plans to follow the same programme now that she’s back. While her representa­tive said she is extremely proud of her achievemen­ts in rehab, she realises she has only taken a step towards recovery. Besides the eight now three-year-old youngsters she had via IVF treatment that made her famous, she also has twins who are about two years older, a seven-yearold son, who suffers from autism, and three older children.
