It's interesting to see other Slavic names for the turkey.
It seems, they kept borrowing from all sorts of different
directions. Russian borrowed a name of another country:
"indyuk" {m} and "indeyka" {m}. And the Czech names are
"krocan" {m}, "krúta" {f}, and "krútě" {n}.

Do the Czech turkies sound like "krút krút krút"
while the German ones go "trut trut trut"? :-)

Americans, please note, your turkies are quite different
birds from the European ones so their calls are likely
to sound completely different.

And turkey in portuguese is peru.
