Turky does have certain chemicals, which i am not aware of their names, that do have the side effect of making you drowsy. However, at no time will the turkey have enough to make you fall asleep in your chair at a thanks giving dinner.

It is actually carbohydrates (from foods often accompanying turkey) that triggers a chain of events resulting in an increase of melatonin in the brain, by use of tryptophan.

But it is usually not in high enough concentrations. You would have to consume a lot of turkey!
