As 七面鳥 and ターキー are about equally common, I don't think the xrefs are appropriate, I'll remove them.

  Comments:
I have raised a policy point on the subject of cross-references. I'll close this to shorten the queue, then reopen it.
Note the current policy contains: "Avoid adding cross-references to words which simply mean the same (or opposite), as it adds a lot of clutter to the entries without necessarily being helpful to users."

"I think we often add x-refs when the kokugos define words as "〇〇に同じ" or similar."

I would say that no, we don't, and haven't really since the days of Nils Roland Barth, but I could have missed some new development the past year or two. I don't think it's meaningful to add these until the arrival of jmdict NG when we supposedly get a revised xref system (though I don't remember if "synonym" was among the suggestions, nor am I sure it should have been)
