The turkey is a large game bird that belongs to the genus Meleagris.
There are two species of turkeys: the wild turkey (M.gallopavo) and the ocellated turkey (M.ocellata).
The wild turkey is native to North America, and has six subspecies that live in different regions of the continent.
The ocellated turkey is native to Central America, and lives in the forests of southern Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize.
Domestic turkeys do not live in the wild, and are usually kept in farms or as pets.
Some domestic turkeys are raised in free-range settings, while others are confined in commercial facilities.
