From what I've read and been told it comes from the lungs.

Also, it is involountary. They don't gobble on purpose. That's why shock calls cause them to gobble. Slam your car door hard in the woods and hear a gobble? That Tom didn't mean to do it. Call it a hiccup, I guess.

huntma - I had a gobbler years ago sounding off only feet away from me. I could hear him draw in his breath before he gobbled, lol.I took a picture of him and you can see his notes on his breath.

Its part of the turkeys vocabulary. Hens yelp, cutt, purr etc. Gobblers cluck, gobble etc. Thats the great part of having pet turkeys you can study them all the time...

i always thought the craw as a part of their food ingesting process...a 'holding' spot for raw plant, seed, and bugs till they ingest them...sorta like the cows do with their cud.....alwaysthought the gobble came from the lungs...i wonder if there is a site with the anatomy of a wild turkey...good question...lol..
