Need some advice-where is the closest place to hunt turkey (supposing it doesn't exist here in AZ-although I have seen a lot of turkeys here unfortunately not the type you can shoot).

I'm sure you can hunt turkeys in AZ. My brother hunts public land in NM.

I have seen a lot of turkeys in the Kiabab when deer hunting , but we never looked into hunting them .

Hi:

You might find one fo the following links of use for finding turkey hunting areas near you:

http://www.nwtf.org/in_your_state/hunting_seasons.php

http://www.azgfd.com/h_f/biggame_species.shtml

They both have info on turkey hunting in AZ. Looks like the earliest would be next Spring, so it will give you time to practise your calling. Hope these links are helpful.
