Std. Choke will work well if you keep shots shorter than 25 yards or so.  Most turkey chokes are extra full or more .69 constriction to keep tighter patterns out to 50 yards.  Turkeys aren't invincible, just hard to call in close enough for the regular guns/loads.  If you get em close they'll go down.  :)

I use a 20ga TDC barrel(#FS03344) for turkey, it patterns excellent with #7 Heavyweight Flitecontrol thru a full choke, see the pattern test sticky, JonD is using one too. There's also the 20ga 26” Full #FB020 that should work great with Flitecontrol ammo, Federal recommends a full choke instead of a turkey X-full, althought the extended screw-in choke would be a better choice since it has a long straight section.

Thanks for the answers. I think I am leaning to the 26 inch pardner full barrel. I have a pump 12 with a extra full turkey choke but have grown fond of the single shot and thought that the 20 would be fun. Here in PA it is almost full bloom and the season dont start for another month. I hunt the thick woods so shots will be 40 yards max. I think I will give it a try and get some different ammo and check the patterns . thanks for the advise on the ammo also I will definitely try it out.

I've been usin Hevi-shot and other heavier than lead shot for years, #6 in the 12ga, but got tired of the recoil, the smaller shot has more energy than much larger lead, #7 Heavyweight has the same energy per pellet as #5 lead, but there are a heck of a lot more of em even in an 1½ oz 20ga load, 337 pellets per load!  8)
