Truten

Truten is a colloquial German word, primarily used in southern Germany and Austria, referring to a turkey. The term is analogous to the English word "turkey," designating the large bird species Meleagris gallopavo. While "Truthahn" or "Pute" are the more standard and widely accepted German terms for turkey, "Truten" is a regionally common alternative. It is often used in dialect and informal contexts. The word can refer to both male and female turkeys.
