By destroying mulched gardens everywhere:
Note of explanation: This is a male brush turkey. He made that giant pile of litter. He'll guard this pile and move it about as he sees fit. A female turkey may wander by and go "Oh, wow, what a sexy pile of mulch!" Then she'll lay an egg in it, and peace out. No need for incubation. As many of you probably know (especially those that lived through the great mulch fire of 2012), compost piles can get quite warm in the center. The male will continue collecting eggs in this way and be a general asshole to anything that gets near his pile. Then one day a tiny turkey will pop out. Maybe they'll make eye contact. Maybe he will pass a knowing fatherly glance. In all likelihood, he won't even notice and the little fuzzy turkey will wander out on his own into great big world of stuff to scratch.
