Default RE: turkeys and disease.

Well first thing is depending on the laws in your state it may not be legal to take them to begin with. Beyond that they really need to be with their mother and other birds to learn how to survive in the wild. Initial efforts to restore wild turkeys to new places failed when they tryed using pen raised birds for that reason. For the disease part, if they are raised near domestic fowl, they may indeed be suseptable to carry something out into the wild.
