When will the turkey leave the coop?

I begin to see the wild survival instinct come if out in my Narragansett Turkeys.
I picked up my flock a week ago. I have kept them locked in their coop for 6 days for them to acclimatize, quarantine, and learn where the food and water as well as their roosts are.
Saturday I decided to open the coop door and let them out. That is where the "horse and water" thing happened.
They are so nervous of the glowing hole of light in the side of the coop that they have not as yet, after 2 days crossed the threshold. "Do not trust things that change@
Question:
I have no plans of forcing them out.
How many days will it take them to leave the coop of their own accord?
