A non-flying bird.
The name 'turkey', describing the large domestic bird commonly bred worldwide for food, comes from the name of the country, Turkey.The term originated in the mid-1500s and was given to what we now call a turkey by the English, who mistook the bird for what they then called a 'Turkey fowl' - we know that bird better now as a guineafowl; their confusion could be forgiven: the two birds are related.The guineafowl was called a 'Turkey fowl' because it arrived in Europe from Turkey, although it didn't originate there; it came from Madagascar.The turkey as we know it today was domesticated by the Aztecs; the Spanish took the bird back to Spain in 1523, and from there it was introduced across Europe; the name - turkey - given to it by the English stayed with it, and that name travelled back to north America with the early settlers.So the roast turkey people in the US enjoy at Christmas and Thanksgiving, which didn't come from Turkey, gets its name from a bird popular with the English, which also didn't come from Turkey.

The bird we today call a turkey is native to America. Yet, how did it become associated with the country of Turkey? The answer is that the American wildfowl is not the only bird called a turkey. That, since 1552, is also a name for the guinea-fowl. That bird, native to Africa, was brought to Europe via Turkey. When Europeans arrived in America, they noticed similarities between the guinea-fowl and the American bird and called the latter turkey. So, the name is from the country although the bird is in no way associated with it. Theatrical use of turkey to mean a flop dates to 1927. General disparaging use dates to 1951. Exactly why the word was first used to refer disparagingly to a person is uncertain, but it is probably because of the bird's fabled low intelligence.
