They aren't fighting they are mateing.

No, actually they are fighting. When turkeys mate it can be a clumsy, noisy affair. Due to the fact that they have been bred to be so physically large, it is difficult for the stag to mount the hen, and there is often a lot of manic shuffling and squawking.

I don't know why female turkeys fight males, but when mine do it is quite ferocious, totally relentless requiring intervention, often bloody and there is a completely different set of calls and displays to the mating game.

Typically no they fight till one submits. They fight to establish dominance. Winner is considered the boss gobbler and has the most hens and does most of the mating.
