The term turkey is used in the sport of Bowling when a player makes three strikes in a row. The origin dates back to before the turn of the 20th century. During Thanksgiving or Christmas week, the proprietor would present a live turkey to people who scored three consecutive strikes[1]. The term has carried over ever since.
