Hi. I am thinking of becoming vegetarian for lent, that is 40 days. At
the
end of this on Easter, my grandmother will make a delicious turkey
dinner
which I want to eat. Don't be mad.

Anyway, basically I am doing this for lent to test myself but my
question
is, because I will go 40 days without meat (still dairy tho), will I get
sick eating the turkey at easter?

Why are you asking a vegetarian/vegan newsgroup if it's OK to eat meat?

I think Rogue's question was about the physical repercussions (if any) of
going forty days with a vegetarian diet and then eating turkey.

I would think this would be the perfect place to ask such a question. After
all, people who are not vegetarians would have little or no experience with
the scenario Rogue is describing. And on the other hand, people who are veg
are more likely to have at one point eaten meat after following a lengthy
period of eating only a veg diet. Not to say every veg does so, but the
chances of finding someone who's been there, done that are higher in a
vegetarian newsgroup than, for example, a pork newsgroup.

By the way, I don't know about turkey, but I eat smoked salmon about twice a
year when I visit relatives and follow a mostly veg diet the rest of the
year. No sickness to speak of experienced here but I think it would largely
depend on the individual and the diet followed.
