backyard chickens says make a cardboard cutout of a correctly formed foot and tape the malshaped foot to it. Let the bird walk around on it and it should let the bones, tendons etc get reshaped. Supposedly works with chicks that have spraddle leg, not sure about semigrown turkeys.

the others will probably kill it eventually

turkeys are f'ing satan born scum

but if they are for eating, which Im sure they are, given their size already, you arent far off from butchering

just let it be and enjoy eating him soon

I know you have said your fathers turkeys were mean B, these ones seem pretty chill, they come running when ever they see me, I can even pet a couple of their heads, you can call me, the turkey whisperer
