Sixteen plates at seven of the kitchens we read carry turkey. Nine of them sit under entree, and it comes as a sandwich more often than anything else, on five.

The journey of turkey

The same 16 plates read outward from the middle: how the kitchens cook it, how it then arrives, and which part of the menu it arrives in. A wedge too narrow for its word carries it in the table underneath.

The journey of turkey: 16 plates, 5 ways of cooking them, drawn as three rings — how it is cooked, how it arrives, and which part of the menu it arrives in. Every wedge is listed with its count in the table below.Turkeyfolded — 1 plate (20%)foldedgriddled — 1 plate (20%)griddledsmoked — 1 plate (20%)smokedstuffed — 1 plate (20%)stuffedwrapped — 1 plate (20%)wrappedomelette — 1 plate (20%)omelettesandwich — 1 plate (20%)sandwichsandwich — 1 plate (20%)sandwichomelette — 1 plate (20%)omelettewrap — 1 plate (20%)wrapbreakfast — 1 plate (20%)breakfastnot stated — 1 plate (20%)not statedentree — 1 plate (20%)entreebreakfast — 1 plate (20%)breakfastentree — 1 plate (20%)entree
