Dunno about turkeys, but geese and swans will charge humans, so you might need to be careful around any fowl that large.

Wild turkeys always seem to run, though if they fly they’re like a flying bowling ball gaining altitude at a very slow rate. Domestic geese will charge. Domestic ducks will charge, dogs at least, haven’t see humans. My guess just about anything will. I’ll sure I’m not the only one to be hit on the head by a songbird protecting it’s unseen nest. It’s always good to be armed, just remember if you needed it for the turkey, that’s hunting out of season and possibly illegal discharge depending where you are. For that reason I always carry bear spray, it’ll get most animals attention. Not suggesting that’s the only thing you should carry, but it’s a safer way of dealing with animals in a non life threatening situation.
