An infant turkey, according to Wikipedia
(for the person who asked),
is a "chick" or a "poult"   

(which calls to mind 'pullet' for some reason).

I spotted a single solitary wild turkey today,
which is weird, because they don't normally wander around by themselves.
The turkey had already crossed the street.
Of course I slowed down and looked around for
the inevitable other turkeys
that might be trailing behind,
and there were none.

We have a slew of wild turkeys in the UK. They did not vote for Christmas and will meet their demise at the ballot box.

I was driving Interstate route 90,
the stretch of it known as the Massachusetts Turnpike
or the MassPike for short,
last week.

And there they were,
NOT in the median,
but where the shoulder went to a rising grassy slope.

A pair of adult wild turkeys
AND their little ones, must have been half-a-dozen "chicks",
grazing up the slope in the grass.

Not all that far away
from all these automobiles exceeding the speed limit, either --
those turkeys are brave, or deaf, or something.
