IIRC, there is at least one recipe, pre-1600, for turkey in an English 
cookery book.  Now, if you are going to ask me which one and where I 
will have to plead that I don't remember off the top of my head - just 
that as I was hunting for something else I found the turkey one and 
thought, "Aha!  Here's turkey before 1600!"  Anyone else know where it 
is?  Now, this is not to say that _all_ feasts served turkey legs and 
turkey parts!  It's just that it was known, cooked, and served for 
those who had access to turkeys.
