[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
GermainZ, you do have a wild imagination. Although, I have not posted it yet, I do have a story developing. So, let me respond to your ideas.

*How about a plot where the cooked turkeys are actually "born" (produced in mass, maybe? they're an advanced species that gave up normal ways of birth centuries ago and use a cloning method now, etc) as raw turkeys and must undergo a process to mature and become alive: being cooked.​

- Our protagonist, and his race are indeed born as cooked turkeys. (I do like the idea of being raw and maturing in the way you described).

*The evil guys, turkeys that are born cooked, are the less advanced species. They were lazy and didn't bother to follow up with science, and now they seek to steal the technology of the advanced turkeys. However, they have no clue and are trying multiple methods (all of which will fail! oh no!) to try and understand how to cook turkeys... In order to so, they are kidnapping advanced (raw and inert) turkeys and trying to cook them using different methods: on solar power, using gas, with ketchup, without ketchup, with tomatoes, etc.​

- Great ideas, I had imagined the bad guys being different species of each planet. Bad Turkeys might make a great addition!

*Our hero must save the raw turkeys, because as advanced as his species might be, these raw turkeys are not easily produced, and resources are becoming scarce lately (which could be why such an advanced species only sent one guy to do this mission... lol).​

- Here, my intent was simply for the turkey to make it back home to let his race know what has happened to his devolved brothers and sisters on earth. (i.e, they have evolved to fully feathered turkeys and no longer retain the knowledge of their origins. Simply put, they are food).

*For the collectibles, he can find some rare resources that might help him get upgrades; also, some of the raw turkeys he saves might actually be cooked turkeys that were mistakenly abducted, and could help him (by offering him resources/items/upgrades, or by actually helping him if you're willing to develop an AI for them too).​

- Collectables are currently fuel, food, parts for his ship and (coins), maybe for in-app purchases. I do think maybe he should be saving someone though. Perhaps some of the devolved turkeys that are to be eaten. However, this part will not work on other planets.... or could it?

EDIT1: Also, to save the raw turkeys, you could include a sabotaging mechanism (e.g. produce steam to cloud the sun for solar power cooking, breaking the roof while it's raining outside and turning off the fire, etc) without it being a puzzle (just a few jumps while having to avoid attacks and what not; something like Mario where you have to fight Bowser and rescue Peach: you have to avoid his flames while trying to get to the button to open the bridge and get rid of him).​

-This I need to give some thought, my wife wants me to add a puzzle aspect, but I do not know if that will fit with the game, or make it overly complicated and distract from the main game sequence. Maybe bonus levels!

Developing story:

He is on a mission to earth to reconnect with his turkey brethren, and see what king of advancements they have made on earth. Of course [something - possibly a breach in the hull, causing his supplies to be scattered over various planets and celestial objects] goes wrong and our hero is left stranded on earth and must collect fuel and parts for his journey home.

He arrives at a farm to not only reconnect with his long lost turkey race that had been placed on earth years ago, but to seek help from them in fixing his ship for his eventual journey home. He quickly realizes that the race of turkeys on earth have devolved into the turkeys we know and love (to eat). [removed] This devolved race have not worn their suits for so long that they have grow feathers to survive the earth climate (No longer cooked turkey race, but regular earth turkeys). Our hero realizes what has happened, and that they cannot help him, so he decides he must rescue (a few) turkeys and bring them back home with him, to let his people know what has become of the earth settlers.

(I am thinking they are born raw, and naturally mature to cooked, or the cooking process helps with space travel... idk)

Still in the early stages.

Great input and these ideas could possibly change, mold the story to help it come to fruition.
