what it means roast turkey

Basic Roast Turkey

It’s a traditional dish for the Thanksgiving Day.
‘roast’ = ‘fried’
‘turkey’ is like a hen or chicken but much bigger.
It’s ‘la dinde’ in French.

You are correct, except “roast” and “fried” are not the same thing. Usually roasting is done in an oven or with fire (some form of heat), not fried in oil.

Yes, of course, I know it.
But as a teacher I also know that with such a comparison I can give a proximate idea to the student what it is.
THe same I always do in my lessons for beginners because they can’t and shouldn’t know everything. The details will come later, on the higher level.
