carved turkey

Holiday bird, portioned

Carved turkey is turkey meat that has been sliced from the roasted bird, typically for serving at a meal.

The phrase appears most often around Thanksgiving and Christmas, when a whole turkey is roasted and someone carves it at the table: plates of carved turkey with gravy, leftover carved turkey for sandwiches.
