Do I need a second coop? (turkey hen won't go in at night)

[fat brown hen]

If you want to make sure they roost inside, herd them into the coop in the evening and shut them in for the night.

That sounds like a lot of work. Can I train the tom to do that for me? just the herding part, I already have an automatic door that closes at dusk.

No, the tom will not do the herding for you. Turkeys can be trained to be herded. It can take an effort at first but once they are trained they respond well.
