Turkeys are passive mobs that can be tamed.

Spawning

Natural generation

Turkeys naturally generate on grass blocks at a light level of 9 or more. Both male and female turkeys may spawn together.

Drops

Turkeys will drop 0–2 raw turkey and 0–2 feathers upon death. They drop 1–3 experience when killed by a player or a tamed wolf. Turkeys will still drop raw turkey even if set alight. The amount of raw turkey and feathers dropped can be increased with the Looting enchantment.

Behavior

Movement

A group of male and female turkeys.

Turkeys are passive mobs, and will not attack the player if they hit them, but they will panic and randomly run around after being hit. Turkeys usually wander around, gobbling occasionally. Like chickens, turkeys will follow any player holding melon seeds.

When descending from a height, turkeys will fall rather slowly; slightly slower than most mobs but faster than a chicken or duck. ?Unlike the latter, turkeys can take damage and die from fall damage.

Taming

A turkey can be tamed by feeding them melon seeds. After giving melon seeds to a turkey, the naming screen will appear. If you want to rename a tamed turkey, use a medallion, book, or name tag.

Turkeys can be healed by feeding them pumpkin seeds. They can also be leashed. Turkeys cannot be bred despite having different genders.
