Word origin
The word 'turkey' has an interesting history. When the bird was first introduced to Europe, it was mistakenly thought to have come from Turkey. This led to the bird being named 'turkey', even though it is native to North America. The name stuck, and today we still refer to the bird as a turkey. In Turkish, the country of Turkey is called 'Tรผrkiye', which is similar to the English pronunciation of 'Turkey'.
