turkeys
SayTUR-keez/ˈtɝkiz/UK/ˈtɜːkiz/
- 1Plural of turkey.
Several turkeys gathered near the barn at feeding time.
Flocks of wild turkeys roam the forests of the northeast.
Note
A regular plural with one spelling point worth noticing: a vowel comes before the final y, so it simply adds -s, unlike city and cities. The plural belongs only to the countable meanings: the birds, a bowler's three strikes in a row, the slang malingerer. When the meat is meant, the noun stays uncountable, so we carve turkey, not turkeys.
