The outside.
This joke plays on the structure of a typical riddle where the listener is expected to analyze and consider various aspects of the subject—in this case, a turkey—to determine the answer. The question seems to invite a scientific or detailed observation about the anatomy of a turkey, which might lead someone to ponder differences between the turkey’s left and right sides or perhaps even consider the top and bottom. The punchline, “The outside,” subverts this expectation with a literal and obvious answer: feathers are, of course, on the outside of a turkey.
The stylish side, because that’s where it’s making a fashion statement.
