surfeit
A surfeit (noun) is an excessive amount, a glut, more than enough. This term definitely applies to the 22 pound turkey my mother cooked for Thanksgiving... for five people. Of course, when your goal is not simply Thanksgiving dinner but leftovers turned into casseroles and soups, the surfeit doesn't go to waste, does it? I have enough for a third meal tomorrow.
