I am thinking of getting a 10 gauge turkey gun and was wondering what my options were for adding optics. Have any of you added any to your gun?

You could also use a long eye relief scope. I don't have any 1st hand experience with this gun but I think I remember reading about it maybe do a search

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

Yep...You can use a scout scope on the barrel or a red dot...You may be able to get away with an EER Pistol Scope from Burris or Leupold in 2x for turkeys.
