<<< Saw this article and figured that as the data supports turkey
farming in Europe in middle to late 1500's some would be interested.
Still figure that wild turkeys would be closer to what was had in
period.

Intereesting. But the article is mostly about the rise of raising and
selling heritage turkeys. I didn't see anything about data supporting
turkey farming in Europe in the middle to late 1500s.
We have recipes and such for turkeys in Europe and they would probably
have to be domesticated (grown?) there for that to be the case. But
what info do you have on the farming of Turkeys in Europe? Did I miss
it in the article? The Europeans had other big birds, so they knew how
to cook and handle them, which is one reason they were adopted
quickly. But I've seen little here on turkey farming in Europe prior
to 1600.
Thanks,
Stefan
