The turkey was already cooked and deboned, it was just the recently sliced meat and twine that he got

Feeding them a small capful of hydrogen peroxide will cause a dog (or a human) to vomit within 10-15 minutes of administration.
It works best within ~1-2 hours after they've ingested, and on things that aren't likely to cause damage on the way out.

It's really not worth trying to get it out in this case. Twine is almost certainly going to pass through fine. Eating a ridiculous amount of turkey isn't ideal but their food can be cut back 25% for a few days. More likely to cause problems trying to make them vomit it out.
There's nothing particularly bad about them eating a ridiculous amount of turkey beyond them feeling sick from overeating. The twine isn't really that far from when they eat grass. Cooked bones would be worth worrying about but making them vomit could be worse than not doing it.
