Turkeys with black heads are simply a different breed.

Black Head is a protazoan infection affecting the liver and GI system of the turkey. There is lots of information on the web about treating and preventing Black Head.

Opinions on eating Black Head infected turkeys tend toward 'no I would never eat an ill animal'

Factual advise from vets or agricultural agencies is hard to find.
