You are correct. Turkey is not medieval. But they were brought back after Columbus and were accepted as food a lot faster than tomatoes and potatoes were accepted. In 1541, in England, turkeys were listed in the large bird section of sumptuary law. Prices for them were fixed in the London markets in the mid-1550s. Tussar, in 1557, talks about feeding them runcivall peas and eating them for Christmas. In 1534, Queen Marguerite of Navarre is recorded as raising turkeys. In 1549, Catherine di Medici was given a feast to celebrate her birthday and 66 turkeys were served at that feast. In Germany, in the 1590s, Marxen Rumpolt included recipes for turkey and woodcuts of turkeys.
