I am looking for a wine that goes well with turkey. I and my guests like sweet wines and I figured a white wine would work best with poultry. Any ideas?

A white zinfidel is great.
The old saying red with red meat, white with fish, poultry is BUNK!
Drink what you like best!
Bon Appetit'e

This is a tough question. First of all realize that the meat is only half the question. The sauce that you would serve with it is as important, if not more so. Without that, it is only half the answer, but I would suggest a Beaujolais Nouveau from France. Serve this slightly chilled. (an hour or two in the fridge before serving.) This will be slightly sweet and with a tiny touch of effervesence as well. the bigger the sauce, the bigger the wine is the general rule.
For more details and a better selection. Go to a good wine shop (not a liquor store, but a wine specialty shop) and speak the emps there. They will have even more and better ideas for you.
Bon apetit.

I definitely think that Pinot Noir is the clear winner here. Not too bold but with enough weight to complement the Turkey. Try something from Napa Valley or Oregon. Enjoy!

I would suggest just about any white, but mostly Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio, Fume Blanc...I personally dont like Chardonnay, except when its made into Champagne, when you are in the mood for a white try Champagne - it's more fun...

Instead of the usual Reisling etc...This Easter I tried a White Merlot with our Turkey it paired very well with the whole dinner....Jackson and Triggs White Merlot....

Go with a Riesling or a Pinot Grigio (the riesling will be a little sweeter). The german and washington/oregon rieslings tend to be sweeter than the australian.

A half bottle of cabernet sauvignon(red) mixed with a half bottle of sec white wine= a special rose mix! I tried in the past with turkey and it's wondreful.
try it. It's a curiosity from me.

I've found that inexpensive white Zinfandel like Sutter Home goes really great with turkey. Rieslings are nice too.

See if you can find the Beaujolais Nouveau. That's traditional with T-day turkey. And it's sweeter and reasonably priced.
