Feeding your LGD when you have turkeys

How do you feed your LGD (mine is a Great Pyrenees) when the turkeys will push her out of the way and steal all of her food? Have you found an outdoor RFID feeder that will work. It's just crazy.
I constructed a triangular shaped tower, thr floor 5 ft off the ground, 2x4 on front every 18" as ladder rungs for paws & claws to grip when jumping up & in wasn't 100%. The wide entrance and pointed end where the head & food goes ensures no sharing by greedy others, the LGD can eat in peace. At first, I left the bowl there, then filled it when I arrived, dog jumped up, ate 1/3 to cover immediate needs, then jumped down for pats & scratches with me for 5 minutes, while the hordes attacked LGD's food. I installed a bulk feeder with a trap door so birds can't access but LGD head can, now LGD can jump up for a snack any time he pleases, and also uses it as elevated sentry tower to sit or lay in, to watch over his flock
