Turkey meat.

A turkey is an Earth bird whose meat is favored by Humans. It is often served as the main course of Thanksgiving dinners, where it is oftenly served with stuffing. (DS9: "Blaze of Glory")

While reminscing about his childhood, Commander Tucker once noted that on one Thanksgiving he removed the screws from the families' dining room table, which he explained as being "so old, the wood sort of stuck together, so it stayed standing." He continued, by noting, that it stayed standing until his dad put the turkey down, which caused the table to collapse. (ENT: "Observer Effect")

The protein resequencer aboard Enterprise were capable of creating a versatile choice of foods ranging from peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to turkey with all the trimmings. (ENT: "Breaking the Ice")

On Thanksgiving 2266, James T. Kirk wanted his crew to celebrate the holiday by requesting to the chef that he makes their synthetic meat loaf looked like turkey. (TOS: "Charlie X")

In 2366, Commander Kurn briefly served aboard the USS Enterprise-D as part of the Officer Exchange Program between the Federation and Klingon Empire. During his visit Jean-Luc Picard attempted to select a menu that would allow Kurn to sample a variety of dishes, including roasted turkey. Upon viewing the turkey, Kurn inquired as to how long the bird had been dead, noting that "it appears to have been lying in the sun for some time." Geordi La Forge then explained to Kurn that it is not really dead, but instead replicated. With that explaination, Kurn reluctantly decided that he would try some of their "burned replicated bird meat," but was unable to eat it, stating that Klingon food "has much more taste to it" and that it was "far too bland for the stomach of a Klingon." (TNG: "Sins of the Father")

In an attempt to make Tom Paris jealous of his wife's ex-boyfriend Maxwell Burke, Harry Kim jokingly referred to Paris as "Turkey Platter", playing on the old nickname Burke had for Torres, which was based on the initials in her name, "BLT." (VOY: "Equinox, Part I")
