Yes, I’m in the USA.
They can fly, but more so to get up in a tree than to go somewhere. Source is that I used to have turkeys until some stray dogs killed them all.

They're plummetting to earth like sacks of wet cement!
Frozen ones though?
Wild turkeys fly very short distances, kinda like a jump on the moon. They freak out and sling feathers everywhere, travel in groups, and collectively make a fuck-ton of noise.
I’m pretty sure we started eating them just to shut them the fuck up.

Wow, they really are the perfect mascot for the US
Benjamin Franklin thought so too.

Maybe not far, but they can. I’ve seen a pack? Gaggle? Fly over a fence. I’ve seen one fly up into a tree as well

Wild turkeys can fly short distances. Domesticated turkeys can't because they've been bred to have huge breasts
