About Turkey

Tucked into eastern Sampson County near the Duplin County line, Turkey is a quiet, friendly community surrounded by open farmland. Originally called Springville, the town eventually took its name from nearby Turkey Creek and the wild game once abundant in the area. Life here moves at an easy pace, centered on a handful of local spots and deep agricultural roots. It offers peaceful rural living, with larger towns like Clinton just a quick drive down the road for shopping and everyday essentials.
