Totally agree with post #3.
Turkey hunting is about power and a tight pattern, so "low recoil" is not really a thing.
A 20g, fit right, with a Red dot, if legal, is probably one of the best Deer/Turkey set-ups you can get. I'd prefer a 20g over a 12g for Slugs and Turkey loads.
BUT, if you wants to play clay sports and waterfowl hunt, then the 20g is a handicap and I'd suggest a 12g.
Recoil management is more about fit and technique than the pure recoil impulse. I have 90 pound girls shooting 12g in Trap whose father's had them shooting a 20g that hurt them more.
