My 11 year old daughter and I went out to shoot last weekend in anticipation of youth season next weekend. 
I thought she did pretty good with the youth model 870 20 gauge , Remington full choke.  2 3/4" #5 shot.

When I turkey hunt I use a DSD decoy

Great shooting n good luck to her. I personally don't let beginners initially shoot turkey loads since they can develop a flinch. Don't overdue it n post her pic once she scores

great shot, may try some 7.5 shot, with the limited range of a light load you will get a better pattern with the small shot!  And it wont be an issue at ranges the pattern will hold up too.

I agree completely with the 7.5 shoot.  At close range (30 yards and under) it's deadly and the pattern density is so much better.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Good luck to the young lady.
