Event that fails badly (6)

I believe the answer is:

turkey

(Other definitions for turkey that I've seen before include "Country - theatrical failure" , "Traditional Christmas food" , "Christmas bird or theatrical flop" , "Country - bird - bad 8" , "Fowl - flop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
