Turkey is rather tall, with a slight stubble on his chin (like France). His face is usually obscured by a white mask. Like Greece he has a double haircurl, but it rests down by his neck.
Turkey is described as having a lively personality, as well as being competitive and friendly. He loves to entertain tourists, and favors the taste of sweet foods like ashure.
Though his exact age has never been stated, he is one of the visibly physically older nations in the cast, and was known as the Ottoman Empire in his younger days.
