Let’s Talk Turkey.

In honor of Thanksgiving Day, which is an annual American holiday unique to the United States and is being celebrated today, I am devoting a thread that discusses anything that has to do with turkey. I look forward to reading about different observations and comments that have to do with turkey: where to find the best turkey, with what to stuff a turkey, how a turkey is prepared, recipes for preparing turkey, the best restaurant to eat a turkey dinner, educating those who have never eaten a turkey, etc.

My favorite part of the turkey is the white breast meat that was covered by the skin, which should be slightly crispy and flavorful.

However, it has been brought to my attention that people outside of the United States typically do not eat turkey. Attempting to recall to the best of my ability my travels to other countries on six continents, I do not remember ever seeing turkey on a restaurant menu in Japan, Malta, Uruguay, Senegal, Panama, Australia, Mexico or Cyprus, for example. In fact, I do not remember personally seeing any vestige of turkey at all in any country other than the United States!

My first contributions to this thread are these questions: does anyone outside of the United States eat turkey? If so, how? Are there any restaurants outside of the United States that have turkey officially on the restaurant menu? If so, where, and how is it served?
