I know a lot of guys that use #9 shot and are deadly!
Shotguns always reliably work via the accumulative effect of multiple strikes.
There is no free ride with shotguns.
Trying to rely on a single or couple of large shot will invariably result in dissatisfaction where as several or more hits with tiny shot will immobilise the prey if not kill it.

Agreed, shotgunning requires skill development just like rifle work.

You can definitely kill turkeys with body shots. BB, T, and 4 buck used to be a lot more common. BB would be my choice.
Almost nobody wing shoots turkeys anymore, and a lot of states don't allow shot bigger than #4 or #2. For a 54 caliber smoothbore, a #7 or #7.5 is the only shot sizes you need to concern yourself with.
