The domestic turkey (Meleagris gallopavo domesticus) is a large fowl that belongs to the same species as the wild turkey. It has been selectively bred for centuries, primarily for meat production, and is now a staple in poultry farming worldwide.
Physical Characteristics
- Size: Domestic turkeys are much larger than their wild counterparts, with males (toms) weighing up to 39 kg (86 lbs).
- Plumage: Most domestic turkeys have white feathers, as they are preferred for commercial processing, but some breeds retain brown or bronze coloration.
- Distinct Features: They have a snood (a fleshy protuberance above the beak) and a wattle (a similar structure below the beak), both of which change color depending on mood and health.
