Well, they can to a degree as far as in/out of a roost, but they seem to have problem at altitude. Other than roosting, when you see them is on the ground.

Tom: I saw a couple of TV blips a couple of years back where the turkeys did not glide, but hit the ground with a big thud and that is the lasting impression in a lot of folks mind. This was the drop up around Yellville.

The Colorado DNR does this with their fleet of Cessna 185s in "bombing runs" so that they can restock the remote lakes in the mountains. It's actually quite impressive to see and I believe there is even a video of it being done somewhere on the internet.
