A guy walks into a bar with a turkey, a duck and a chicken. The bartender looks up and cries fowl. OK, that's not exactly how the story goes. It's more like: In the early 1980s a farmer walks into a butcher's shop in Maurice, La., carrying a turkey, a duck and a chicken. He asks the butcher to put the three birds together somehow because he doesn't want to roast them all separately.

Sometimes one wonders exactly what it means when people refer to Turkey as a bridge between the West and the East. Westerners who do not support Turkey joining the European Union say it is not compatible with Western culture. Arabs say Turks are not true Muslims because Kemal Ataturk, the country's founding father, abolished caliphate, changed the alphabet and, most importantly, introduced a secular democracy. Sometimes that bridge means understanding between the West and the East. Sometimes it means hope amid the clash of civilizations. But,Jennifer Eaton Gokmen explains, it is important to make clear Turkey's real identity, especially at a time when there is a war in Iraq and the country has opened its EU accession talks. It's a unique time for the bridge - detailed in a new book that...

Have you seen with your own eyes that rare beast, the turducken, reputed to emerge from the swamps of Louisiana and land on tables everywhere throughout the holiday season? A stuffed chicken inside a stuffed duck inside a stuffed turkey - three fowl are imbued with Cajun spices and butter, flavored with spicy sausage and oysters. A true turducken takes days to prepare, weighs about 40 pounds after cooking and feeds at least 50 hungry diners.

Throughout the year, pressure had been mounting on the Turkish government to itself take military action against the PKK bases, particularly with both a general election and a presidential ballot on Turkey's domestic political agenda. Clearly, the AKP leadership saw major pitfalls in such a campaign-as, off the record, did the military itself-yet a wave of nationalist sentiment, manipulated by extensive media coverage of the funerals of Turkish soldiers killed in combat with the PKK inside Turkey, left both having to claim that they were ready to go in at any moment.

Preparation: Remove innards and clean turkey; for best results marinate the turkey overnight in Italian dressing (skip this step for kosher or self-basting turkeys); cover turkey to lock in flavor and moisture; pre-heat oven 325 degrees; rinse turkey with warm water; place a sheet of aluminum foil over roasting rack; poke holes in the foil to ensure circulation of heat, then return rack securely inside of roasting pan; pour three cups of Italian dressing and a cup of water at the bottom of roasting pan; drop fresh chopped carrots, celery, thyme, potatoes and two chopped onions; stuff turkey with fresh chopped green and red peppers, onions 'and garlic; rub olive oil on the outside of turkey, then cover in Italian dressing and place it inside the roast rack, breast-side down; place a top ...

Pat turkey dry inside and out with paper towels. Place carrots, parsnips, celery, onion and white turnips in bottom of a roasting pan. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack set in a roasting pan. Fold wing tips under turkey. Let stand at room temperature for up to 2 hours. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper inside turkey. Fill large cavity loosely with as much of your favorite cooled stuffing as it will hold comfortably; do not pack tightly. (Cook remaining stuffing in a buttered baking dish at 375 degrees.) Tie legs together loosely with kitchen string (a bow will be easy to untie later). Fold neck flap under and secure with toothpicks. Rub turkey with the softened butter and sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper. Lift cheesecloth out of liquid and squeeze it sli...

ANKARA, Turkey - Faced with the prospect of another front opening in the already difficult Iraq war, the United States struggled Friday to persuade Turkey not to send its army across the Iraqi border to attack guerrillas who use the remote terrain to launch strikes inside Turkey. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged calm and cooperation in a string of meetings with top Turkish leaders fed up with rebel attacks and insistent that Turkey will do what it must to stop them.

I've never wished someone a happy Thanksgiving and a happy 80th wedding anniversary on the same day, but that's exactly what Harold and Pauline Owings of Burbank are celebrating today. They said their "I do's" in the backyard of Pauline's parents' home on Thanksgiving Day 1931 in Gas City, Ind., then went inside with the rest of the family to have some turkey and all the trimmings.
