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.
