Turkeys are mainly seen seasonally in the Game, School of Dragons.
Description
Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) are large birds with limited ability to fly. They are native to the Americas and do not occur in Scandinavia, so Vikings would not have come across these birds. Turkeys are wild, but have been domesticated in a few historical events by Native Americans. Domestic Turkeys are still the same species as their wild counterparts.
Function
In the game, School of Dragons, turkeys are kept to harvest feathers from. This actually somewhat holds true historically as turkeys were used by Native Americans for their feathers in ceremonial items and blankets before any other usage. In a School of Dragons Farm Job, Trader Johann asks the player for turkey feathers to decorate hats with.
In another School of Dragons Farm Job, turkey feathers are needed as instruments of tickling! In this case, tickling a Gronckle's belly will cause them to spit up lava, and Fishlegs has found a novel rock to feed Meatlug.
Currently, turkeys are raised primarily for meat, especially on certain holidays, and mainly in North America. The Vikings of the How to Train Your Dragon Franchise are seen eating turkey. Though no dragons are seen eating turkeys, it is a very small stretch to assume they would, especially since they will eat Chicken.
