I have them here, Once the plant is filled out I don't think they will be a problem. When the plant is young, a small low fence around the plant (like a silt fence) might be enough to discourage them. If the fenced in area is too big they will be more likely to go inside it.

They do feather dusting in my field when the ground is weed free but I have not noticed any turkey damage to the garden plants.

They do feather dusting every year, same time, same place. They just fly over the fence. Never bothered my plants though.
