a "Chester"
It sounds as if it isn't actually a turkey, but a variety of chicken: http://www.thepoultrysite.com/poultrynews/10632/move-over-tu...
Chester is the name of the variety, so it doesn't matter whether it is referring to the city, to someone's surname or whatever. "Perdigao", who developed the genetic variety, gave it this name.
It is also a trade name, and therefore should be left unaltered.
If you are unhappy about whether to call it a chicken or a turkey, then you could just opt for "bird" or nothing at all, as I have done.
"Perdigao S/A Comércio, along with its two main operating companies, Perdigao Alimentos S/A and Perdigao Agroindustrial S/A, went public in 1980, listing on the Brazil stock exchange. The following year, Perdigao began marketing a new poultry brand, Chester, after the company's research and development team had succeeded in breeding a chicken that concentrated 70 percent of its meat in its breast and thigh portions. The Chester brand was then expanded in 1982 to include low-fat products. " http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Perdigao-SA...

Definitely a chicken: http://www.chester.com.br/ The Perdigao company sells many pre-prepared chickens, and the main ingredient is listed as "Special chicken (frango special)".
As Tony points out, the brand seems to be v popular in Brazil, but I can't find references outside. There is a chain of fast food chicken outlets called Chester, but I don't think they are connected.

I think turkey is an inaccuracy
Note from asker:
| I think I will call it "Chicken Chester". I must put something before this name. I hope it does not sound funny :) |
| I wrote how I would express it in Polish as we usually have to put something before such names because in Polish there is declination and we have different case forms. |
| I just wonder why they call it "turkey". Most of these recipes are from asian countries like China, India, Korea. Is it possible that it is a breed of turkey known locally in England? |

: Seems to be very specific to Brazil, so it might help to know where this recipe comes from? And lots of sites seem to use it on its own, as you have done.

: "Chester turkey" indeed comes from Chester, it's a rare breed ( so called "heritage breed") /I think yes! In a sense of its rarity!You wouldn't find another turkey like this!

But I think we agree this is not likely to be that breed?

: Yes indeed. Bred and usually force-fed to have 70-80% breast and leg meat.

: Well, your ref. actually explains that it isn't a turkey at all, so that may be a bit of a red herring!

actually a type of chicken
see below
"Instead of turkey for the holidays, many Brazilians are opting for Chester, a pumped-up chicken that costs less than turkey and has more meat than a standard chicken."
