The "Libro del Arte de Cozina" (Spanish, 1599) has a few recipes 
for New World creatures -- if I'm interpreting the terms correctly.

gallo/gallina de las Indias -- (literally, rooster/hen of the Indies) 
Probably turkey.  

conejo de las Indias -- (literally, rabbit of the Indies)
Probably guinea-pig.  The modern term is conejillo de las Indias, 
(lit., little rabbit of the Indies)

There are no New World animals in the other late-period Spanish 
cookbook I am familiar with -- the 1529 edition of the "Libro de 
Guisados".
