I believe you will find the medieval European "turkey" is the Guinea fowl
(Numida meleagris) which was imported from Africa.  I photographed some
running free in Oklahoma and found them identified as Hungarian Guinea fowl
in a birder's identification book.  Apparently they were imported into the
US for use as a game bird.
