At least wild ones, which I've seen go up to the top of a 15-20 foot tree
I went into a friend's back yard and was surrounded by 28 wild turkeys, on the ground, on the roofs, the patio cover, a tree, and a wrought iron rail. They were huge, and not a bit afraid of me.
There was some concern about a pack mentality, but they just wandered about eating bird seed.
But I doubt they could survive a much of a fall when encouraged by rotor wash. A short hop is one thing, but turkeys don't come to mind when thinking sustained flight.
