Turkeys

Turkey did not yet exist as a country in 1915. It was still part of the Ottoman Empire. The capital of the Ottoman Empire in 1915 was Constantinople, the city now known as Istanbul.

No, although the Ottoman Empire (modern Turkey) was ruled by a monarch (often styled 'Sultan' or 'Padishah (Emperor) until the end of World War I.

The country of Turkey has an area of 783,562 km2. Turkey, the animal, typically grow to around 35 lbs. in weight.

The capital of Turkey is Ankara. Some people mistake the capital of turkey as Istanbul but it is not. It is Said that Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman empire.

Here's the reason why Turkey is called Turkey. Well actually the word "Turkey" (country) came from England. The English said it was too hard to pronounce the word Turkiye I mean all you have to say is "turk-ee-air." That's what I hate about those pesky English fools. They think they have the right to say any word their way! Especially if it's with Turkiye! My country I came from! The word is actually Turkiye (Tur-kee-yeah). So that's why Turkiye is called Turkey.

Sistas in the Hood Outreach Ministries will give out free turkeys at P.S. 20 at 142-30 Barclay avenue at 11:30 on Saturday Nov. 21.

I presume it was because the Native Americans introduced the bird to the Pilgrims (but not necessarily on Thanksgiving Day). It was a large bird that was not migratory and therefore was available throughout the year. It was large enough to feed more than one family. Have you ever eaten a wild turkey? Moma-mia! If cooked right, it tastes much better than a Butter-Ball and a lot less fat in your diet. Wild turkeys feed on acorns and other natural products(including insects and small reptiles, etc.) that give them a totally different taste.

Turkey has 7 provinces. But Turkey is not directing with provinces. Provinces are just kind of symbolic, not like Canada or US.

Provinces are:

# Marmara Bölgesi # Ege Bölgesi # Akdeniz Bölgesi # İç Anadolu Bölgesi # Karadeniz Bölgesi # Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi # Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi

# Marmara Province # Aegean Province # Medeterrianen Province # Inner Anatolia Province # Blacksea Province # East Anatolia Province # Southeast Anatolia Province

Turkey did not join WW2 until the very last moment. Thankfully it stayed out of a European problem.

WW1 the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) allied with the Germans.

Norbest turkeys can be purchased at Baldor Specialty store in Massachusetts. You can also try your local grocer and see if they can get the turkeys in stock for holidays.

No. The turkey came from the New World. The fact that the country "Turkey" and the fowl "turkey" is the same word is merely coincidental.

Its center is a treeless plateau rimmed by mountains.

No, actually Turkey is a successful bridge between Eastand West. It's the country where East meets West. It's the synthesis of East and West. That's why Turkey is neither an Asian country nor an European country.
