If you flesh it thoroughly it won't rot, but you probably won't be very happy with the results.
Skin-mounting a turkey head so that it LOOKS like a turkey head is a long involved process which takes (at least in my case) as long as mounting the rest of the bird. I avoid doing it whenever possible.
You would be much better off purchasing either a cast plastic head or a freeze-dried one.
