You could clip her wings.

Regular clipping of flight feathers for sure. Most painless way.

Clipping one wing will stop her from flying. Usually by the time the turkey molts and grows new feathers, she will have forgotten that she knows how to fly.

It never affected whether or not my turkey hens went broody. It can be harmful if she nests somewhere that is susceptible to predators because it will make it more difficult to escape a predator.
