if i say ''turkey''

hey!!!!  i just wanna know what you are thinking about TURKEY. İt can be few words too. What do you know about TURKEY. thanks for everyone who share their idea with me.THANKS…..

kind of birds served in most at ceremonies 

haha for me if you say" TURKEY" - I feel hungry  ^ ^, hahaha…

Unfortunately in certain parts of South India the word "Turka"(derived from the word Turk) is a derogatory term used against Muslims in India to indicate their foreign ancestry  .

Whenever I hear that word I think of culture, history, and kind, romantic people like my friends :)

It makes me happy! :) 

agree with Eylem. Here is called Türkiye. not an animal. Here is a country. if you dont know, ask your politicans. all of them know here and i am sure want…

The animal was named after the country (in English).  Even though it was actually a bird native to the Americas, it got exposure to non-Spanish Europe through Ottoman traders.

I think in Turkey the bird is actually called "Hindi" because of early misconceptions that the new world was India.  Can a Turkish person confirm that?

When I think about Turkey the country, I think about a really smart Turkish girl who went to my old high school that I used to have a crush on.  I also think about Döner Kebabs and all the Turks I met in Germany.  

Radunagi,We do call that bird ''Hind toyugu'' which means  ''Indian bird'' but I didnt know  what the derivation was.Thank you for the excursion into the historical domain  :)

 and about Turkey…there are  so many things I associate with this word:).. don't even know what to start from..

great country,great people, great nation, neighbour country, a lot of friends of mine..

Pobres pavos…

totalmente de acuerdo Whitney!
