A typical seasonal dish is turkey in both Europe and the United States, where it plays a major role on American tables on Thanksgiving Day.
On this occasion it is served roast and stuffed with chestnuts, a recipe which is used in Europe at Christmas. Turkey is therefore a prominent feature of the week's menu, even when it is not prepared in a traditional way.
