I know you're being funny, but they literally are dinosaurs; specifically ratites (and all birds) are classified as theropods, having split off from the same lineage that would give rise to velociraptors and T. Rex some 160mya. With the ratites splitting off from the rest of the avian dinosaurs around some 80mya.

Yeah, turkeys may be dumb, but they'll still ruin your day. A six-foot turkey would be terrifying!
