Holly, people here in WV use deer netting over their decoraive ponds to prevent heron from grabbing their goldfish.  I don't know if that type of netting over your planters would prevent turkeys from landing or if they would tear it up.

    Get a good slingshot and pop a few of them suckas.  Wont hurt them tough birds but will sure scare the crap out of them.  Hey, then you can use it as fertilizer:>)  Seriously though a motion sensor might pick up those big birds and could be used to turn on a light which might scare them away as well as some other critters that might be raiding at the time.
