The Wild Turkey is a game bird, yes.  But it has also been 
domesticated.  You can order Turkey poults from several hatcheries.  Check 
out this one online!

I don't know about URLs, but I have a children's book by DK that had 
paintings from Medieval history, complete with the artist's name and the 
approximate year that it was painted.  Many have surprising detail!!  You 
can clearly see that they had Quinces, and apples, and grapes and peaches 
in one still-life painting of fruit. It is called "A Children's Book of 
Art" and sells for $13.75 if you order through a DKFL representative 
(Usually 15%-30% higher if you purchase from a Bookstore).  It has 64 
heavy-weight pages.  There is an Adults book (lighter weight pages) that is 
called "Sister Wendy's 1000 Masterpieces: that has 512 pages and sells for 
$29.95 through a DKFL representative.  This book would also have many 
paintings from Medieval history - including paintings with food in them. If 
you have any questions about ordering, please contact me!
