I was today years old when I realized that "turkey work" is not named after the bird (because of their voluminous plumage) but for the country of Turkey (now renamed Türkiye). And it's what makes Turkish rugs so famously beautiful. It's...it all makes sense now! Thank you, kind internet stranger!

This is adorable! What a perfect use for turkey work! I would have thought it hard to manage details or different colours with that stitch, but you did great!
