I just came home from college for the weekend and noticed that my bb turkey has very red legs and feet (possibly swollen) and an equally red nose. She's on the older side, about 3 years old, is currently broody and besides the redness seems otherwise fine but I know birds hide things until it's too late. Does anyone know what's wrong with her?
I'm just worried about avian influenza as it has been found in my area, does anyone know the signs of influenza in turkeys? Does it sound like this?

"Signs of Avian Flu Illness in Birds Sudden death; lack of energy, appetite and coordination; purple discoloration and/or swelling of various body parts; diarrhea; nasal discharge; coughing; sneezing; and reduced egg production and/or abnormal eggs."

Your turkey does not have symptoms for A.I.

Red legs can mean scaly leg mites. Swollen legs and feet can be a sign of congestive heart failure which is common in older BB turkeys.
