The derogatorily term "turkey" is a corruption of "turnkey" and has to do with prison guards in merry old England and not birds. However your pun was understood.
Now why is it can I never seem to remember anything useful?

My strange sense of humor is all. Due to an accident of history this native American Bird is called a Turkey. A term of derision in American English, due to the domesticated variety of turkey's supposed stupidity, is to call someone a "Turkey", Then there is the statement in the true but not necessarily important category "You are what you eat."
Taken to the logical extreme if you eat turkey, you are one. (Not nearly as clever as I had hoped, having had to explain it).
The uncropped image has a lot of boring white snow in the foreground. I actually made the photograph with this crop in mind.
