Set against the backdrop of high school bowling, Turkey! – Time to Strike- tells the story of Mai, a “genius who never wins,” and her teammates—Rina, Sayuri, Nozomi, and Nanase—who are all members of the Ikkokukan High School Bowling Club. Despite the team’s struggles and setbacks, they continue to push forward, striving for victory as they battle through the summer’s final chapter. The title, “Turkey,” refers to a bowling term for scoring three consecutive strikes, symbolizing the team’s perseverance and determination.

The series is directed by Susumu Kudo, with a script written by Naomi Hiruta. Character design and chief animation direction are handled by Airi Takekawa, and Yuki Hayashi provides the music. The production is a collaboration between BAKKEN RECORD and PONY CANYON, with animation produced by BAKKEN RECORD.
