Turkeys

Huge. Several long buildings. They smell, so they are often in remote areas.

Turkey contains an amino acid called tryptophan, which can promote relaxation and drowsiness. However, it needs to be ingested in large amounts to have a noticeable effect on sleepiness. Other factors in a typical Thanksgiving meal, such as carbohydrates and alcohol, may contribute to post-meal drowsiness as well.

The origin of the name "turkey" for the bird is not completely clear. One theory is that during the 16th century, when turkeys were imported to Europe from Turkey, they were mistakenly thought to have come from Turkey and the name stuck. Another theory is that the name comes from the Turkish word "tuka," which means peacock, and the two birds were initially confused due to their similar appearance.

A general guideline is to cook a turkey for about 20 minutes per pound at 325°F (160°C). For a 9.61 kg (21.2 lb) turkey, this would be approximately 6.5 to 7 hours. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the bird before serving.

A turkey's brain is relatively small compared to its body size, weighing about 0.1% of its total body weight. It is roughly the size of a walnut.

Iraq is approximately 300 kilometers (186 miles) away from Turkey. The distance between the two countries can vary depending on the specific locations being compared.

Turkeys have exceptional color vision and can see a wide range of colors, including red, green, and blue. They have good color discrimination and can perceive colors better than humans.

Wild turkeys can be found across North America in a variety of habitats, including forests, fields, and grasslands. They prefer areas with a mix of open spaces for foraging and dense vegetation for cover and roosting. Turkey populations are most abundant in the eastern and western parts of the United States.

The fastest recorded time to pluck a turkey is 1 minute and 30.68 seconds, achieved by Patrick Zander (USA) in Minnesota, USA, on 20 September 2011.

The fanning out of a turkey's tail feathers is called a display or a strutting display. It is often performed by male turkeys (toms) during courtship or to establish dominance within a group.

Muscle tissue. Animal meat is primarily muscle tissue, especially cuts of steak and, in this case, white and dark meat. On the other hand, hot dogs and other ground up animal foods contain all manner of tissue.

The fleshy, wrinkled, often brightly red colored fold of skin hanging from the neck or throat of turkeys is called a wattle. It is used for sexual display and is larger in males than females. In life it can be engorged with blood to make it larger and more brightly colored.

A chickens growth rate is dependent on its breed and nutrition. Some mature earlier than others but a well cared for chicken of commonly kept breeds will be fully mature by 8 months old. They usually are ready for breeding at that age.

Yes, turkeys are omnivores. They primarily feed on a diet of seeds, fruits, insects, and small animals. They have a diverse diet that includes both plant and animal matter.

The white fleshy balls you are experiencing are likely tonsil stones, which can develop in the crevices of the tonsils. They are caused by a buildup of mucus, bacteria, and debris. Good oral hygiene practices, gargling with salt water, and staying hydrated can help prevent their formation. If they persist or cause discomfort, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Some natural landforms found in Turkey include mountains (such as the Taurus Mountains and Mount Ararat), plateaus (like the Anatolian Plateau), valleys (like the Cappadocia and Göreme valleys), and coastal features (such as the Aegean and Mediterranean coastlines).

The offspring of a turkey is called a poult. Poults are born with downy feathers and are capable of walking and feeding themselves shortly after hatching. They stay with their mother for protection and guidance.

The exit area of the rocket nozzle can be calculated as 400 cm2 (4 x 100 cm2). The exit pressure of the exhaust gases can be calculated using the isentropic flow relations and properties at the throat. Given the stagnation pressure and temperature at the combustion chamber exit, the isentropic flow relations can further help determine the exit velocity and other flow properties.

A male turkey is called a tom or a gobbler, while a female turkey is called a hen.

Turkey is home to a wide variety of plant species due to its diverse climate and topography. Some common plants found in Turkey include olive trees, pine trees, cypress trees, fig trees, pomegranate trees, and various species of wildflowers such as tulips, anemones, and irises. Endemic plant species also thrive in Turkey's unique ecosystems, such as the Anatolian black pine and the Turkish pine.

Male turkeys, known as toms or gobblers, are typically larger with brighter plumage and a more prominent snood. They also have a beard, which is a cluster of feathers on their chest. Female turkeys, known as hens, are generally smaller and have duller plumage without the beard.

The state that produces the most turkeys annually in the United States is Minnesota.

According to the Guinness Book of Records the greatest dressed weight recorded for a turkey is 39.09 kg (86 lb--about the size of a large dog)for a stag named Tyson reared by Philip Cook of Leacroft Turkeys Ltd, Peterborough, United Kingdom. It won the last annual 'heaviest turkey' competition, held in London on 12 December 1989, and was auctioned for charity for a record £4400 (then $6,692)
86pounds

Yes, turkey does contain tryptophan, an amino acid that is known to promote relaxation and sleepiness. However, many other protein-rich foods also contain tryptophan. The sleep-inducing effects of turkey are often attributed more to the large meals typically consumed during holidays rather than the tryptophan content alone.

The coolest place in Turkey in summer is likely to be along the Black Sea coast, such as Trabzon or Rize, where temperatures are generally milder due to the proximity to the sea. The hottest place in Turkey in winter is typically the southeastern region, like Şanlıurfa or Gaziantep, where temperatures can still be quite warm compared to the rest of the country.
