I think it's understandable that this is not generally known. Most only know the domestic turkey, and their breast meat has been bred to be massive, tender, and white -- not good meat for flight muscle.
Turkeys look pretty ungainly in flight but the strangest looking flying bird in my opinion is the guinea hen. The bird is almost spherical so in flight it looks kind of like a basketball with rapidly flapping wings (although the color is different).

If turkeys really had balls like that you'd think they could fly!
Oh, they can definitely fly. First time I saw one in the air was during an orienteering meet. Looked like a bomber flying over. Up until then I’d assumed they were too heavy.
