Broken blood feather on my turkey

[Kyhoney01]

My daughter cut our turkeys blood feather by accident when he started getting stressed out. She cried all night but I did get the bleeding to stop. I’ve read that in chickens, you pull the blood feather out at the skin, but I’ve read somewhere that you should never do that to a Turkey. I’m having trouble finding the info in this. Can anyone advise? He has what looks like a vein hanging out of it tonight. I’m just worried sick about him.
