stuffed turkey

Holiday roast bird

A stuffed turkey is a turkey prepared for roasting with filling placed inside the body cavity—typically a mixture of bread, herbs, onions, and other ingredients.

The dish is central to American Thanksgiving and Christmas meals: She basted the stuffed turkey every thirty minutes.

Figuratively, someone who has eaten too much may feel stuffed like a turkey.
