In 1890 the Great Eastern Railway opened a link known at the time as the Churchbury Loop between Bury Street Junction, Edmonton (on its line to Enfield Town) and Cheshunt (on its main line to Cambridge). One of the stations was the present Turkey Street, then known as Forty Hill. The line was not a success and the passenger service was withdrawn in 1909 in the wake of local tramway competition, although it did regain a passenger service between 1915-1919 to cater for the extra traffic generated by munitions factories in the area. However, the station was reopened to passengers as Turkey Street in 1960 as part of the electrification of the lines from Liverpool Street to Hertford, Bishop's Stortford and elsewhere.

In 2015 the lines from Liverpool Street to Enfield and elsewhere were taken over by London Overground which brought many improvements in its wake. See TQ3598 : Turkey Street London Overground station for a somewhat different view of this station.
