whole turkey
Complete roasted fowl
A whole turkey is the entire bird sold or prepared intact, as opposed to parts like breasts or drumsticks.
The phrase appears most often in cooking contexts, especially around Thanksgiving: I'm roasting a whole turkey this year.
Figuratively, the whole turkey can mean the complete thing, everything involved: They bought the whole turkey—house, land, and outbuildings.
