If you carve it right out of the oven it lets all the juices run out. If you let it settle the juices distribute and the turkey is moist all the way through.

It needs to rest so the juices stay in. If you cut into it right out of the oven the juices will run all over the place. And it continues to cook for a bit even after it's out of the oven.

To let it rest, gives it time for the juices to settle & also makes it easier when carving

If you'd just come out of the oven, would't you want to sit awhile? .)
