No we don't call our country “Turkey” . The word turkey (the animal) called as “Hindi” and this word also means indian person. We call India “Hindistan” and actually this word kind of means “the land of the hindi's”. Turkish people call Turkey as “Türkiye” and this word also means “The land of Turks”. -iye and -istan paragoges add meaning of “Land”- “Homeland” to the word front of them.
