Im thinking a live turkey..dont think it needs to be too detailed. Here is an image..don't know if it can be done or not...certainly not as detailed as this in a short time span LOL Just a general shape or something where maybe textures could be added to help it look more 'turky'ish? Attachments:

looks like a turkey from here, so do you have zbrush? just asking to see what will be your next step after you add the legs

I can't remember if I have zbrush on my desktop computer..can't remember if I got rid of it or not..but I don't have it for sure on my lappy here...and it would've been an older version on my desktop... Not sure where Im going with it after the legs....suggestions? Here is an updated bit..just added the little cone thing that hangs down off the side of his face....might need to work a bit more on it...and move it up a bit.. Attachments:

Not sure where Im going with it after the legs....suggestions? since you have not added any legs on the turkey yet i would just put it in a pan and get ready for some food ;D if the mesh is still low you should add the legs before doing any higher subdivision work ( i would)

LOL! Right? Im ready for some turkey...Thanksgiving is my fave time of the year really..I eat till Im sick and can't move.....then I eat some more hehehehehe Then I can complain about my weight all winter long....but least i stay warm LOL! Yea, mr turkey is still in low sub stage..gonna just try extruding some legs out..not sure about toes tho...he might end up without any And wings..wonder if I should try modeling any of that in there or should I just leave it like it is and not worry about them?

are you going to rig it in poser?? modeling the wings would let you pose them
but if its just a static prop dont bother an do wings with a map

rigging can be a pain if your new, BUT if you new there is this uploader AUTO RIG www.mixamo.combe sure to use utilities>Decimate in hexagon first before you upload it, if you upload quads it destroys the mesh to much. you might want to add legs to the Turkey AND arms/wing before you upload. make sure you model the Turkey in a T Stance , meaning arm/wings out to the side straight and standing at a attention

Mixamo will not do poser rigging, it will do bvh/fbx for dax studio but it needs a fbx upload even for that (with the bones in lol) poser cant even do an fbx export (dunno about the latest poser on that)
Mixamo is good for motions (and has daz dolls on site to use) the free one I tried worked quite well and the prices for custom made are not too bad
before you get too downhearted rigging in poser is more painfull then hard (is lots of tedious work to do) and you wont need a lot of bones (15 to 20 should be enough for basic poses) just be carefull when u group the doll

yeah if your animation app does not support there rigging then use Mixamo pre made motion files that will work, there is some free ones, i just use the free stuff my self
