Are you/were you Amish? I've never seen Turkey spelled with "ie", and Google seems to think that's the Penn. Dutch spelling.

  In Dutch it's Turkije - there's a j in between ("ij" makes a single sound, and the "e" is another sound). "Turkie" would sound weird in Dutch too and it's not Dutch spelling, though I guess it looks like it.

    Türkie might be a misspelling of Türkei (German) or Türkiye ( Turkish).

    According to Wikipedia, the Pennsylvania Dutch are actually from southern Germany, and have no connection to Holland or Dutch.

      Oh I didn't get that "Penn." part, that explains.

        Sorry. I was too tired to spell Pennsylvania. =P
