 See above. I'm surprised this article is so truncated; it's practically a stub! I'm really surprised, given that this is such a common subject. I realize that the domestic and wild turkey articles are more detailed, but really now... Several statements are made in the article that are never expanded upon (such as foreign names of varying derivations), and citations are few and far between.
