Is anyone missing a pet female turkey?

My landlord has a few chickens in our backyard and apparently right before I moved in this last week, a female turkey joined the flock on her own. I’m aware wild birds can pass diseases to domesticated birds but this turkey is so calm I thought she was part of the flock when I initially moved in.

If the chickens wander away from the backyard, the turkey makes a sound similar to a yapping dog and comes to my door to get me to herd the chickens back to their coop. The chickens get close to her and they seem to coexist well (no observed aggression) so I’m wondering if the turkey was someone’s pet??
