ANYONE would go well:
a) White wine: Beaujolais Nouveau
It should be drunk chilled - around 45F
Other options are: Chardonnay or a Dry Riesling
b) Red wine: The classic pairing with turkey is Pinot Noir.
If you're looking for something a bit more flavorful than the Beaujolais Nouveau
c) If you like sweeter wines then:
A white zinfandel or cranberry wine will work nicely.

Red wine by far.
Wine Spectator recommended last year before Christmas a Spanish Tempranillo (dry red).
I agree if the turkey is spiced up with sage, rosemary and thyme, you need a wine that will be as strong as those spices. In other words well balanced.
Otherwise, you will either taste the wine only and not the food or vice versa.

A White Merlot. It's inexpensive so you can get a few for everyone at the table, and it's the perfect balance for whole poultry. Turkey tends to bit a bit dry no matter what, so a super red will just remind the eaters that the turkey is what it is.
A good value label is "Forrest Glen" from California.

A lighter red like pinot noir or boujoulais pair very well with turkey.
