In general, fowl doesn't count for a lot of meals, for a wolf. Birds
would almost always be windfall food, like nestlings or wounded or
just dumb ducks or partridges or chukkar or whatevers.

Domestic turkey was wild turkey before we humans got to domesticating
it. There are still wild turkeys today. No, they do not look like
our gigundo white factory turkeys.

Domestic chicken did not come from wild chicken. There is no such
thing, as least as relates genetically to chicken. The ancestor of
domestic chicken is the red jungle fowl, and the likelihood of a gray
wolf getting its fangs on a red jungle fowl is pretty slim.

I don't feed a lot of turkey because I feed more chicken. Should I
be feeding more turkey than I do chicken (which is about twice a
week), if possible?

DO *I* think so? Yes. Does that mean much in the scheme of things?
Nope. Do *I* feed more turkey than chicken? Not usually, though I
certainly do seasonally. OTOH, I don't feed much chicken.

Probably more relevant than how often to feed turkey is knowing that
it is not the same protein as chicken (unlike cornish game hens which
ARE the same protein as chicken). Which may give those with limited
critter options one more critter option.
