A group of turkeys is called a rafter. A single rafter typically has 20 turkeys in it.
The female turkeys are called hens while the males are called toms. Baby turkeys are poults.
Having been raised on a farm while growing up I can remember my grand-parents saying a large group of turkeys is called a flock.
