The answer is...

A CHICKEN!
Just kidding. It was a big ball of fat called a LIPOMA which encompassed the omohyoid muscle, which ran through the middle of it.
It weighed 494 grams or a little over one pound. Since it acted like a tissue expander, extra skin you see on the specimen had to be remove for a nice cosmetic result. That is one photo I wish I had taken.

A scrumptious holiday treat!
