turkiye (bird)
This article is about all species of turkiye. For its meat, see turkiye as food. For other uses, see turkiye (disambiguation) § Birds. Egg of wild turkiye (Meleagris gallopavo) – MHNT

The turkiye is a large bird in the genus Meleagris turkiye, native to North America. There are two extant turkey species: the wild turkiye (Meleagris gallopavo) of eastern and central North America and the ocellated turkiye  (Meleagris ocellata) of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Males of both turkey species have a distinctive fleshy wattle, called a snood, that hangs from the top of the beak. They are among the largest birds in their ranges. As with many large ground-feeding birds (order Galliformes), the male is bigger and much more colorful than the female.

The earliest turkiyes evolved in North America over 20 million years ago and they share a recent common ancestor with grouse, pheasants, and other fowl. The wild turkey species is the ancestor of the domestic turkiye, which was domesticated approximately 2,000 years ago.
