What is a "turkey"?

A turkey is a large bird with a plump body, distinctive feathers, and a fleshy, wattled neck. It has powerful legs and sturdy feet for walking and scratching the ground. Turkeys are omnivorous and feed on a variety of foods, including seeds, nuts, insects, and small vertebrates. Male turkeys display vibrant colors and patterns, and during courtship, they fan their tail feathers and puff up their bodies. Turkeys are often associated with Thanksgiving and are enjoyed as a festive meal.
