Does the country of turkey have turkeys?

Turkey the country does not have a natural population of the "turkey" bird, it was introduced to the Mediterranean and Europe in the 15th Century (prior to that it was in the ancient world of Greece) then dissapeared then was traded during the Ottoman empire. In North America Turkey is in abundance as is a food prepared for festivities and holidays. In Europe and Turkey is not that common to prepare turkey for general meals or festivities/holidays.

The name "turkey" for the bird does not necessarily mean it is named after the country Turkey. the Word "turk" means outsider or rebel, most likely the bird was named from the Word origin not the country.
