Show Mystery in TurkeyU Namt Tradition has It that the first turkey was brought to England by ne of Sebastian Se-bastian Cabot's chief lieutenants. This Is supported by the fact that William Strickland, who accompanied Cabot !on several of his voyages, adopted a turkey rampant as his crest on being granted arms in 1551. Exactly how the turkey got his name Is a mystery. Some authorities suggest sug-gest that the bird christened Itself by constant reiteration of a sound that "resembles "turk-turk-turk." The bird's succulent meat was so highly esteemed by Sixteenth century churchmen, that by Archbishop Cran-mer's Cran-mer's order, only "one dish of turkey cocks" was permitted at feasts and banquets.
