Whats with all the turkey names?

[Chiko]

On hatchery and info pages for turkeys I've seen lots of names under the pictures like Tom, Gobbler, Turkey, Hen, Poult? Are they the same as Cockerel, Rooster, Cock, Pullet, Hen, and Chick for Chickens? or what do they mean?

 

[Sir Birdaholic]

Tom & Gobbler, the same, adult male

Hen, adult female

poult, young turkey

jake, teenage male

In chicken terms;
Tom = Rooster
Gobbler = Rooster
Turkey = chicken
Hen = Hen
Poult = Chick
