Overview
The Turkey is a small herbivore primarily used for resource gathering while ridden. It excels at harvesting a wide variety of plant-based resources with high efficiency. This makes it useful for early-game survival when players need a steady supply of Berries, Seeds, and Fiber. It can be immobilized with a Bola or Bear Trap during taming attempts.
It does not carry other creatures nor can it be carried by any mount.

More about taming the Turkey
Tame the Turkey using knockout methods. The best food is Archelon Algae, which provides the fastest taming effectiveness. Mejoberry also works well if Archelon Algae is unavailable. Use a Bow or Crossbow with Tranq Arrows to sedate it efficiently.
It can be immobilized with a Bola, Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y. About 6 Archelon Algae are needed. The taming process takes around 2 minutes at level 224 with no Narcotics required. Use the calculator below for your settings.
