Here's a list it compiled of unhealthy foods that dogs should avoid:
Turkey bones, skin, and gravy

Mashed potatoes
Creamed peas
Chocolate, cookies, pies, and sweets (especially anything containing xylitol)

Fatty foods
Foods containing spices
If your pet eats something it shouldn't, contact the Pet Poison Helpline or your local vet.
