Turkeys does not lay eggs

Actually they do, but turkeys run out of nests after dorfs picks up they eggs & do not return until you remove nest & place it again.

Oh. I think I know where is the problem!
I assign to pen/pasture the male turkey & after dorfs picks up eggs, turkeys moving to meeting area & gobbler can't "friends" with them to make them lay eggs =)

nope it's not that.

eggs are laid each season, or each month.

and female turkeys doesn't need males for producing eggs.

Playing DF is like getting into an elevator where you know it will freefall forty stories after it climbs about two.

Turkey hens will lay eggs regardless of whether you have any male turkeys at all.

I have sometimes noticed that a turkey hen will fail to claim a nest box that has been used in a previous season's laying.  I'm not sure why.  My usual solution is to create separate 1x1 rooms containing nest boxes, each with a pasture that just covers the nest box, and manually assign each turkey hen to one of them.  I've never had turkey hens fail to lay eggs each season that way.
