Yes. Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) are omnivores, meaning that their diet consists of both plant and animal matter. Mast items such as acorns, as well as grasses, seeds, and fruits make up the largest portion of their diets, though they are known to eat lizards, snakes, insects, and mice. Though baby rabbits and pheasants do not make up a large part of their diet, if a turkey were too come across either food item, there is a chance that the turkey would devour them.

However, A turkey will not hunt potential prey, as it is a forager not a predator.
