I keep a dog, the dog keeps the turkeys at a comfortable distance from the house. A high energy dog is recommenced, Brittany's seem to work well for this

Turkeys are smart though, they'll walk right by the dogs fence line taunting the dog, but soon as I open the gate to the yard the turkeys are gone *poof*
They are entertaining if you set the place up properly to deal with having them around and good manic dog works wonders, even keeps the wood peckers off my cedar siding.
