What is the "Benelli click"?

I believe this is when the action doesn't close fully and just 'clicks' instead of firing when you pull the trigger.  Happens when the bolt is not allowed to close on its own, but eased forward manually when trying to be quiet.

It's when you let forward the breach too easily and the bolt face doesn't have enough inertia to properly rotate and close.  We lost our first turkey as well but never again once we realized what happened.  It's just like a dry fire.

Or when you're walking through thick timber & a branch snags the bolt handle just enough to bring it back without you noticing until the moment of truth...don't ask me how I know this... ::)  It happens on many inertia actions, Benelli supposedly fixed theirs on the new SBE3s.
