I’m only referring to the term ‘turkey’ which normally doesn’t refer to 3 strikes in a row unless in the 10th frame

So, this means, no stuffing or cranberries?

Wikipedi has an article. Just type “3 strikes in the last” and google finishes off with … whats it called

a double is a Barney Rubble, any 3 is a turkey and 4 or more have other names.

Good one Bruno

Lucky it wasn’t a gutter ball

The Huns are attacking and there’s no one manning the walls. They’re all at the bowling alley because they’re on strike.

Turkey is three in a row anywhere in a game. Not just the tenth. That’s usually referred to as striking out or punching out.

Can I have a leg or thigh please?

As an avid bowler who’s had 2 perfect games in 15 yrs of bowling I can say that whoever says a turkey is and 3 strikes in a row no matter what frame knows what he’s talking about.

For the win!

BTW, Wikipedia has it correct, with absolutely no mention of any requirement to be in the 10th frame to be called a “turkey”. If it ever did mention that, somebody has corrected it.

A Turkey that only scored 30 points might be said to be in the 10th frame, because if it was earlier, the 2nd strike (and maybe the 3rd) would have also scored extra points.
