Without photos of the legs can only guess at what may be
wrong.The problem could be in the hip socket.
Or the Achilles tendon could be displaced (Hock joint
injury)
Or the most likely thing is that the tibia (bone in
drum stick) is twisting. The modern breeds of turkeys
grow fast and this puts stress on soft bones and joints.
