Looks to be. I used to have a pair of turkeys around here and I'd see their tracks all over the nearby woods in winter. After a few years, they either died or moved on. Haven't seen them in years but it was always fun when I did.

We have some large flocks of them here. So far the hunters have not wiped them out.

Hard to tell the size from the photo, but they do appear to be turkey. Turkey tracks are rather large - almost six inches from end to end. Grouse have a different pattern more in-line than a turkey if that makes sense.
