Turkey should not be a problem for a dog in normal health state. Too much fat is bad for dogs just like it's bad for us. However, DO NOT feed the dog BONES from a chicken or turkey, they're too fine and the dog can be seriously injured by splintering a bone and then swallowing it.

M$There is a way you can feed your turkey bones. After you pick the carcass clean, put it in a large pot, cover with water and add 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar, raw if possible. Let it soak overnight (unrefrigerated is fine between the raw vinegar and the fact you're going to boil it).
Then in the morning, turn the burner up to high until it boils, and then down so that it simmers. You'll probably want to flavor your stock in some way, so add a couple of carrots (whole), a couple of stalks of celery (whole), and a couple of onions (whole); a bay leaf; a stalk each of sage and thyme (or about 1 T dried), and rosemary if you are going to use this mostly in Italian and southern French cooking. Let it simmer slowly for 6 hours, adding water as necessary.
When the time is up remove the vegetables and the bones. The minerals from the bones will be pulled into the broth, while the bones themselves are crumbly. You can then give your dog the bones--the iron-rich marrow will still be in them.
Then you can either continue to reduce your stock down into concentrated stock to use in recipes, or you can let it cool in jars and store it in your fridge to use in the same way--just takes more space.
