A turkey is called 'Hindi' in Turkish. But the name of the country is Türkiye in Turkish.You can find many turkeys in turkey but they are not from Turkey. The French call them "dinde" which translates as "from India". The Turks also thought they came from India and therefor (as noted above) called them "Hindi" (from India). The English thought they were called turkeys because they came from ships that traded with turkey. The first turkeys were introduced in the 16th century from Mexico where they were known as "guajolote" so it would seem,noone got it right
