The study examined the factors affecting the demand and supply of turkey meat in Osun State. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to obtain data from 39 turkey farmers and 95 consumers. Data were analyzed with the aid of descriptive statistics and two stage least squares model. The results of the descriptive statistics showed that majority of the turkey producers were male, married with an average age of 39 years. They operate on a small scale of production with an average of 73.21 flock size and have an average of 5.31 years of farming experience. The results also revealed that majority of the turkey consumers were married with a mean age of 41years and have formal education. The two stage least squares estimates showed that the significant determinants of supply of turkey meat are flock size, diseases outbreak, return on investment, educational level and cost of production. On the other hand, significant determinants of demand of turkey meat are income and educational status. It is therefore recommend that farmers should be sensitized on good management practices to prevent and control diseases by making available extension and veterinary services in order to increase turkey meat supply. Also, consumers should be sensitized on the nutritional benefits of poultry meat through advertisement. This will in turn help consumers in meeting the FAO recommendation for daily animal protein intake
