Turkey Emoji
Animals
A full-bodied, brown-feathered turkey standing in profile. It features a fan-shaped tail, a red wattle hanging from its beak, and a distinctive fleshy growth known as a snood.
Usage Context
Widely used during the autumn months to reference Thanksgiving dinner, holiday travel, or the act of cooking a large feast. It is also frequently deployed in sports-related discussions to represent a 'turkey'—the term for three consecutive strikes in a game of bowling—often paired with 🎳.
History
Added to the Unicode standard in 2015 as part of Emoji 1.0, the turkey was highly requested by users looking for a way to mark the North American Thanksgiving holiday. Its inclusion helped round out the farm animal category, moving beyond basic poultry icons like 🐔.
