Yes, turkeys can become infected with avian influenza; however, the versions of the virus that are highly pathogenic and highly contagious among turkeys tend to be not that proficient in transmitting through water fowl, chickens and other birds.
In reference specifically to H5N1 (the "bird flu" scare from 2005 or so), turkeys live primarily in North and South America and haven't been exposed on a large scale to this particular avian influenza virus. Therefore, the pathogenicity of H5N1 in turkeys is basically unknown.
