Chickens will often keep a turkey company. If you only have a turkey though I would recommend getting another. I had one Tom for a while and he did fine with our chickens.

You should get at least one more turkey. It doesn't have to be a tom, it can be another hen.

Keeping a tom turkey with chickens will eventually lead to dead chickens when he starts trying to breed them. If blackhead is a problem in your area, keeping a turkey with chickens can be a death sentence to the turkeys.
