How long ago in history did people start using the saying, "Smart as a turkey"?

Where the heck did that phrase come from anyway? I was always thought that turkeys were not that smart.
 
I have no clue honey but I tell you this much: I don't eat Turkey for Thanksgiving because I simply don't like Turkey meat nevertheless the whole stuffing ! LOL !! But, I am smart but I think when I gave myself this name, I was like "drunk"?
 
No clue but I have heard of a William "Turkey" Smart (1830-1919) was a champion speed skater and the first of a dynasty of skaters from the small village of Welney, on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border in the centre of the Fens, England.
