Only one problem - turkey has no more tryptophan than any other protein (less than chicken in fact). And to induce sleepiness from tryptophan (actually it wouldn't be the tryptophan, tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin which helps sound sleep, doesn't cause sleep) you'd have to eat a whole turkey on an empty stomach. Your sleepiness is caused by the ALKALINE TIDE--from over-eating, especially carbohydrates, and the body's response by releasing bicarbonate into the bloodstream causing the blood pH to rise slightly.
