Youth model 20 gauge with full choke and 2 3/4" shells with #4 or #6 shot (the shells should be marked for turkey loads), will be more than sufficient and the recoil will be less bothersome if the gun fits you. The extra weight of a longer stock and barrel won't help if the gun is uncomfortable in your hands. It will face slap you and beat your shoulder because you are not in a good shooting position. I use my 20 for both turkey and deer hunting and it is my primary home defense gun, you lose practically nothing except number of pellets in the shell by doing 20 gauge instead of 12 gauge. Your shoulder will appreciate it and the turkey will not notice the difference.
