The Seder meal uses either a lamb bone or a turkey/chicken neck to represent the Paschal (lamb) sacrifice. The Israelites offered a lamb as a sacrifice at the first Passover. They put the blood of this lamb on their doorways as a signal for the Angel of Death to "Pass-Over" their houses and not kill their firstborn sons. All the other firstborn sons of Egypt died in the tenth and final plague. Modern Passover meals can use a chicken or turkey neck in place of the lamb bone since the Holy Temple is unavailable and they therefore want to use something dissimilar to the sacrificial lamb, yet still use a bone to remind them of the sacrifice.
One of the foods on the Seder plate is the Z'roa - a roasted shank-bone of lamb or goat, or a chicken wing, or chicken neck. It symbolizes the korban Pesach (Pesach sacrifice), which was a lamb that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem, then roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night.

The ritual foods at a Passover seder are Matzah (unleavened bread), Maror (bitter herbs), Karpas (a green vegetable, usually parsley), Beitzah (a roasted, hard boiled egg), Haroset (a mixture of apples, nuts, cinnamon, wine) and Z'roa (a shank bone, usually represented by a turkey neck or a beet). Four cups of wine are traditional as well. The main course can be almost anything, as long as it complies with Passover dietary laws.
The seder plate typically holds 5 or 6 items symbolic of the Passover meal: The shankbone of a lamb, a reminder of the Passover sacrifice (a chicken bone or a beet can be substituted). Bitter herbs, for the commandment that you shall eat it with matzah and bitter herbs. Charoset, a relish made of fruit, nuts and wine, symbolic of the mortar used by the Israelite slaves. A green vegetable, usually parsley, symbolic of spring and intended to dip in salt-water symbolic of the slaves' tears. A roasted egg, a symbol of the festival burnt offering (as distinct from the Passover sacrifice). (optional) a second bitter herb because there are two points in the Seder when bitter herbs are consumed.
The only occasion on which a shank-bone is used is the Passover Seder (ceremonial meal). The shank-bone is eaten the following day, not during the Seder night.A shank-bone (or other roasted bone with meat) is placed on the seder table to allude to the Passover sacrifice (see Exodus ch.12). It also reminds us of God's outstretched arm (see Exodus 6:6).
