The large heart was likely caused by the cirrhosis (hardening/scarring) of the liver.

Disease caused the abdominal twisting and tumor under the wing.

Personally, I would want to know what caused the infection of the intestines and liver and caused the tumors before I ate him.

There are a number of diseases that could do that, and I'm not an expert on Turkeys.

Some of them would be harmless to humans but may cause the meat to be less than desirable in texture.

Some of the diseases should have sanitation and clean up for the safety of the rest of your flock.

I'll link a chart below. I'm leaning towards something like Avian Leucosis or Trichomoniasis.
