Long story short my turkey was attacked by a dog. It’s been about 2 weeks and we’ve kept her separate from the others to tend to her wounds . She can kinda stand up on one leg but the other she won’t Really use.
looking for any advice to help my poor girl out. I’ve never owned turkeys before but wanna make her as comfortable as can be.
I attached a few photos

Her left leg looks like it's broken above the foot/toes as it looks bent in the picture. If so, you need to splint the leg so it heals straight. That area of the leg needs to be straight in order for her to walk right. If that spot is bent the leg may need to be rebroke in order for it to be splinted in the right position. If there are no other serious wounds and she is eating/drinking she should be OK.

Consider a vet if you can afford one.
