Buff turkey is a term that refers to a specific breed of turkey, the Bourbon Red turkey, known for its buff-colored feathers. However, there are other words that can be used as synonyms for buff turkey. For example, one could use the term "bronze turkey" as both the Bourbon Red and the Standard Bronze turkey have similar coloring. Another possible synonym is "red turkey," as some Bourbon Reds have more pronounced red markings on their feathers. Additionally, the term "heritage turkey" can also be used, as Bourbon Reds are considered a heritage breed, meaning they are an older, traditional breed that has not been heavily modified through selective breeding.
