Turkeys are hardly large mammals.
This has always bothered me too. Where are the North American camels, native horses, mammoth, mastodons, giant ground sloths, etc.? Don't know whether you could have realistically domesticated a ground sloth (actually weren't the South American? I forget my Pleistocene paleontology) but you can sure as hell domesticate a camel or horse and, assuming mammoth and mastodon were behaviorally similar to elephants, you can domesticate them as wel..
