I can roast, yet I'm not turkey,
Grindable, but not pepper, quirky.

Brewing's my game, not beer, agree?
A bean, not magic, plain to see.
What am I?
The answer to the riddle is "coffee."
"I can roast, yet I'm not turkey": Coffee beans are roasted to create the flavorful coffee we drink, but this line emphasizes that despite being roastable, it's not a turkey being referred to.

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,

And two only in me.
