I have never been turkey hunting but I know enough to know that you won't sneak up on a turkey, they will know you are there before you know they are there.

You have to make them come to you. Check your state for the use of decoys, get yourself some calls and practice. I would suggest a hunting blind on the edge of some woods looking out into a field with a couple decoys out on the edge of some thick brush. Try to call some out into the field close enough to get a shot. That is how I would try to go about it, but I am sure someone that has actually shot turkey can be more helpful.
