Best Answer

I presume you are referring to the plural of 'turkey'. It forms the plural in the standard way for words ending in a vowel followed by a 'y': it simply adds an 's'. (Compare monkeys, boys, trays, and so on.) The spelling you suggest seems to be based on a misunderstanding of the rule 'change the 'y' into 'i' and add 'es'. That rule applies to words that end in a consonant followed by a 'y'. (Compare ponies, babies, quantities, and so on.)
