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.

Hope this helps

In addition to ravens, A large group of turkeys are also called a Congress.

I was raised on a turkey farm, and always thought that this was one of the more truthfull terms in avian culture.

Hope this helps
