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.
