Isn't that a joke?
They gobble because they haven't learnt good table manners!
If it is not a joke or you didn't find the joke answer very funny - here's a more sensible answer ... from the website linked below:
Only male turkeys (toms) gobble. Females (hens) make a clicking noise. The gobble is a seasonal call during the spring and fall. Hens are attracted for mating when a tom gobbles. Wild toms love to gobble when they hear loud sounds or settle in for the night.
Hmm, that answer is probably funnier than the joke answer ... or am I just easily amused?

What a bunch of trolls. Turkeys gobble for different reasons during different times of the year. In early spring they're attempting to show dominance and attract a hen. Late spring/early summer they tend to go silent, then during the mid/late summer months they get busy again establishing their territory and their roost.

Actually, no, turkeys gobble because they have no other sound they feel like making. Unless they feel like making a different sound so they make a different sound sometimes.

That's like asking why do dogs bark, why do people talk, That's a pretty slow question.

it is their own personal God-given way of communicating and showing dominance.
