roast turkey
Holiday main course
Roast turkey is turkey prepared by roasting—cooked uncovered in an oven until the skin crisps and the meat reaches safe temperature.
In North America, roast turkey is the centerpiece of Thanksgiving dinner and common at Christmas: We're having roast turkey with all the trimmings.
The phrase often shortens to just turkey when context is clear.
