Poultry item (5)
I believe the answer is:
capon
'poultry item' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for capon that I've seen before include "Castrated cock fowl" , "Castrated bird" , "Castrated fowl, for eating" , "fowl fattened for pot" , "Male fowl fattened for eating" .)
