This riddle is a clever one, and it's designed to make you think about the concept of "before" and "after." In this case, the word "turkey" is used twice, which can create some confusion.

The riddle is actually asking about the number of turkeys that come before and after the subject of the sentence, which is the "turkey" that is being described. Let's break it down:

1. Two turkeys are mentioned before the subject (the "turkey" that is being described).
2. Two turkeys are mentioned after the subject (the "turkey" that is being described).

So, when you add the number of turkeys before and after the subject, you get:

1 turkey (the subject) + 2 turkeys (before the subject) + 2 turkeys (after the subject) = 5 turkeys

Therefore, the answer to the riddle is 5 turkeys.
