We have some young broad breasted bronze turkeys, and I noticed that one has an odd, thin skinned pocket under it's wing. It doesn't seem to be infected, and it appears to be filled with air, though I might be wrong. The turkey, named Tomato, seems to be pretty healthy and normal other than this. I haven't noticed this before on any other turkeys that we've had. Does anyone know what this is? If so, what should I do with it? Thank you.

It might be a leaking air sac from an injury. If she is having no problems breathing, I would just watch it. if it gets bigger or she gets distressed, then you can take an 18 gauge needle inserted just into the skin to puncture it, and push the air out with your hands. Here are a couple of articles to read for help:

I have a turkey who developed a huge bubble under her wing - she was acting normal except walking a little funny. I researched online and found out that it is a Subcutaneous Emphysema. I read articles about draining it or leaving it alone. I inserted a small syringe needle to pierce the skin right up under her wing. I then massaged the bubble until it went almost completely away. I cleaned the area with alcohol. It would come back, so for a couple of weeks, I repeated the procedure about every three days. Then it seemed like the bubble was not getting as large, so I left it alone. I was mainly worried about it bursting, but it never did. She was only a few weeks old when this started. I kept a watch on it, and it didn't get any larger. Now she is 14 weeks old, and you cannot tell she ever had it. She did great - and is now completely past it. So if you have this issue, don't panic - it doesn't seem to affect them in any way - just keep an eye on it.
