Plate 1 of The Birds of America by John James Audubon, depicting a wild turkeyĪccording to linguist Mario Pei, there are two possible explanations for the name turkey. The genus Meleagris is the only extant genus in the tribe Meleagridini, formerly known as the family Meleagrididae or subfamily Meleagridinae, but now subsumed within the subfamily Phasianinae. Turkeys are classed in the family Phasianidae ( pheasants, partridges, francolins, junglefowl, grouse, and relatives thereof) in the taxonomic order Galliformes. The type species is the wild turkey ( Meleagris gallopavo). The genus name is from the Ancient Greek μελεαγρις, meleagris meaning 'guineafowl'. The genus Meleagris was introduced in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae. The wild turkey species is the ancestor of the domestic turkey, which was domesticated approximately 2,000 years ago. The earliest turkeys evolved in North America over 20 million years ago and they share a recent common ancestor with grouse, pheasants, and other fowl.
