My guess is slipped tendon, perosis due to poor feed. Turkey poults need the extra protein, lysine, methionine and niacin that will be found in a proper turkey or game bird starter.

It may be possible to manually put the tendons back in place but then they have to be secured there while they heal. Proper food with the addition of dissolving vitamin B complex at the rate of 1/2 tablet or capsule per one gallon of water. Make it the only source of water and it should be made fresh daily.

It costs nothing to cull it. Simply snip or cut off its head and then dispose of it as you see fit whether it is via burying or tossed into the trash.
