A Turkey has a lifespan of between 5 years to 10 years.

Turkeys that are living in the wild typically live up to 5 years while domesticated Turkeys live for usually up to 10 years.

However most Turkeys in the wild get hunted and killed for food so that shortens the Turkeys life.

But if a Turkey does not get killed in the wild then they can usually live up to 10 years as well.

A Turkey usually lives less than a dog or cat does.

Turkeys have pretty short lives when it's compared to humans, dogs, cats and other animals.

So whether or not you kill the turkey for food or not the turkey would die pretty soon anyway.
