I only killed one bird this year,

By all means, OP should listen to the guy that killed one turkey


OP, as others have said, TSS makes almost any shotgun completely serviceable for killing turkeys. I probably hunt more days in the spring than 95% of posters. My $0.02 is get a reliable shotgun and pair it with TSS and a choke that isn’t overly constricted. Most turkeys are killed at less than 30 yds and it’s easy to miss one with a really tight choke. .585 for 20 ga and .665 for 12 ga is what I recommend. Nothing tighter in most guns. You can shoot a .410 like some have said, but you are limiting yourself. If the weight of a 20 is too much for you but a .410 is fine, well….
