A bit on how turkeys in the USA came to be called turkeys. The guinea fowl is native to east Africa and was imported to Europe by the Ottoman Empire. It came to be called the "turkey-c*ck" or "turkey-hen".

When settlers in the new world began to send back similar looking fowl, they were mistakenly called "turkeys".

Here's an article:

I wonder about the parentage of our present day domestic turkeys raised in the USA. I wonder if they could be a hybrid of the 2 strains?
