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.
