Domestic Turkeys were re-imported into the Americas bu the pilgrim
fathers, the originals were brought to Europe by the Spanish who stole
them from the Aztecs, the birds got to England and the Netherlands by
way of the Ottoman Empire thus the name, or did you think it was simply
a slur on the Turks?

Foxes might not be bright, but they don't often stand around in the
rain, heads turned back and mouths open, and drown themselves.
That's generally domestic turkeys, not chickens.
Domestic turkeys are descended from the severe mental defectives of the
wild turkey population, because those are the only ones the Pilgrim
Fathers could catch or keep.
