Welcome to Washcloth Crafts!
For the turkey, I use thicker, borderless washcloths.  However, if you use the thinner washcloths, he can be stuffed with quilt batting to plump him up a bit.  The turkey may require a bit of sculpting, but all of the critters require a little of that. 

The new fall colors available in packages of 18 cloths which are found in discount department stores should make for pretty cute turkeys – gold, rust, orange, brown, and green. Don't forget to add a "feather" or two when using the thin cloths.

The eyes and heart can be glass gems or sequins.  If you want different feet, make some out of brown felt. 

White turkeys are another possibility.  Just add a pilgrim hat to dress him up for Thanksgiving. 

Also, put a face on one side of the pumpkin so you can use it next year for Halloween.

Happy Crafting! 
Terry
