They are no longer known as Turkey. They officially changed their name to Türkiye few years ago. So the country is now called Türkiye

Burob:
Where have u been in the last couple of years?

fineboynl:
they change official name. And make it different from the bird.

The Republic of Turkey officially changed its name in English to the Republic of Türkiye at the United Nations on May 26, 2022. The UN officially recognized the change shortly after receiving a formal request from the Turkish government to better represent Turkish culture and avoid negative connotations with the bird.

It's Türkiye not Turkey. That has always been the original name not some kind of poultry animal.

It’s called Türkiye traditionally.
Turkey is an English version and they changed it to the traditional pronunciation.
