What you should do is wait till the chicks are bigger. Once you think they are big enough, take baby steps. Hold the chicks in front of the turkey and see his reaction, I doubt he will attack if you are holding them. Once that is done a few times try letting the chicks roam for a minute with close attention. If that works try with 5 minutes and so on and so forth.
