My brain loves mashups, so my first thought was, "what a brilliant picture-book premise — a princess disguised as a turkey!" In truth, I can’t point to a mainstream book where the main character is explicitly a princess who dresses as a turkey. The closest, and what most people recall when they think of turkeys in costumes, is 'Turkey Trouble', where the turkey himself tries on disguise after disguise to avoid becoming dinner.
If your memory insists on a royal heroine, chances are it’s a mix of that turkey’s costume capers plus any number of princess-disguise stories like 'The Goose Girl' or 'The Paper Bag Princess' where identity and clothing play big roles. Those titles deliver the emotional beats of mistaken identity and cleverness that a turkey-disguised-princess image evokes.
I still love the mental picture of a princess awkwardly trying to blend in at a barnyard feast — it would be glorious illustration fodder and a hilarious read aloud at Thanksgiving.

Sometimes a memory is like a collage, and I suspect that’s what happened here: a turkey-in-costume picture book collided with a princess-in-disguise fairy tale in your recollection. The turkey-costume picture book that most adults and kids remember fondly is 'Turkey Trouble' — it’s a simple, funny story about a turkey who dons various costumes to avoid being turned into dinner. That’s the turkey-disguise archetype, but not a princess.
On the other hand, there are plenty of princess stories where the royal protagonist disguises herself (or is forced to hide her identity) — 'The Goose Girl' is the classic tall-tale example, and 'The Paper Bag Princess' gives a modern, feminist twist where the heroine ends up in unexpected clothes after a dragon incident. There are also more playful series like 'The Princess in Black' where a royal leads a double life in a costume, though not as a turkey.
If someone handed me a stack of picture books right now, I’d show them both kinds and let them decide which memory fits. Personally, I’d pick up 'Turkey Trouble' for laughs and one of the princess-disguise tales if you want clever role-reversal and heart.

Okay, this one had me hunting through picture-book memories for a while — there isn’t a widely known children’s or middle-grade book where the protagonist is a princess who deliberately disguises herself as a turkey. What most people recall with a turkey-disguise premise is the very charming picture book 'Turkey Trouble', where the turkey is the one putting on disguises (cow, pig, etc.) to avoid Becoming Thanksgiving dinner. That book’s premise is a turkey trying on costumes, not a royal in feathers, and that mix-up happens a lot when stories blur together in the brain.
If you’re specifically remembering a princess in a fowl costume, my best guess is you’ve conflated two different stories — a princess-disguise tale plus a turkey-disguise tale. For the princess-disguise side, classic and modern examples include 'The Goose Girl' (a princess forced into a lowly role and hiding her identity), 'The Paper Bag Princess' (who upends princess tropes in a delightfully pragmatic way), and the spirited heroine-in-disguise vibe of 'Dealing with Dragons'. For the turkey-in-disguise vibe, again, check 'Turkey Trouble'. Libraries and bookstore listings often tag these with keywords like "disguise," "princess," or "Thanksgiving," which helps when memories are fuzzy.
If you want, I love digging through children’s sections and can recommend a few picture books and retellings that blend royal characters with animal antics — they scratch that same itch even if the bird-costume-princess combo is rare. Personally, the image of a princess trying to waddle stealthily in feathers makes me laugh every time — such a great scene for a picture-book illustrator to have fun with.

Alone and with no memories prior to age six, Allison found herself an orphan and spent the last fourteen years growing up in the slums of the Capitol City Zalaris in the Kingdom of Nimairene learning to steal and con those of status in order to survive. Unfortunately, she is caught after what appeared to have been a successful heist and is sent to Lady Pricilla's Prison for Troubled Women where she is put to work in order to learn how to be a proper lady of society.
Spending her days in and out of Solitary confinement, Allison believes that she will never finish her sentence on time when she is attacked by a guard. All seems hopeless when suddenly she is saved by a Palace Guard and whisked away. It is then revealed to Allison that she is not Allison of the Slums but is, in fact, Allisara Nimair of the Kingdom Nimairene and the rightful Queen to the throne.
Her life takes a turn as she goes from Prisoner to Princess in a matter of hours and the truth behind Allisara's missing memories and dark past comes to light that reveals just who her enemies truly are and that they were closer than she thought. But with the help of Skylard Blackhawk, Allisara is able to navigate her life as the next ruler and weed out those who pose a threat to her reign.
Now all that is left to question is will this lost Princess return her Kingdom to its former glory and find love along the way, or will the past come to claim the life it failed to take fourteen years ago?

Who wrote the turkey disguise princess fairy tale originally?

Folktales usually don't have a neat, credited origin, and the turkey-disguise princess you're asking about almost certainly comes from that same river of anonymous storytelling. I lean on that idea because so many tales where a royal character disguises themselves—whether as a bird, a peasant, or something absurd like a turkey—are oral traditions passed down and reshaped by communities rather than penned by a single person. Collectors such as the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen gathered and edited versions of these stories, but they were compilers more than original authors; think of 'The Goose Girl' or 'The Wild Swans' as cousins in theme, not direct matches.
If you're hunting for a concrete origin, the trail usually leads to variants across regions: a Greek or Balkan village version here, a Native American or Mesoamerican tale there, and later retellings in children's picture books. The motif—royalty in disguise, tests of identity, clever escape—shows up in many cultures under different guises. Folklorists track these through motif indices and oral-record archives rather than attributing them to a named novelist.
So, practically speaking, there isn't a single original author to point at. If a modern picture book or children's author recently used a turkey-disguise idea, that would be a new, attributable version, but the root story itself is anonymous and communal. I love how that means every storyteller can make it their own, and imagining the many hands that shaped the tale always cheers me up.
