Incubation temps for chickens and turkeys are the same (99.5 to 102 depending on the type of incubator you are using) but turkeys take 28 days while chickens only take 21 days to hatch. In my experience, turkeys require higher humidity than chickens to get a good hatch. Good luck!

We have a common small styrofoam incubator we used to hatch East Indie duck eggs- can I use that size of incubator to hatch turkey eggs?
