I have been told by an experienced turkey breeder that to reduce aggression towards people, it's best to have more than one tom - that way they can expend aggression toward each other and have less energy for aggression toward people, though there will still be that protective aggression toward anyone who isn't a hen. This is a good thing in a sense - they are trying to protect the flock, and if a predator does come, the tom will be the first to defend and possibly save the females from a loss. He also said to avoid having only one tom at all costs, because aggression is likely to increase.
