Will a rifled slug barrel with turkey choke in it affect the pattern of turkey loads?

The spin of the wad and shot will cause the pattern to open up extra fast and possibly cause the pattern to be thin and hollow in the center.  You do not want a load of shot spinning.  The choke may slow the spin some depending on brand, but it is a total mismatch of equipment.  In fact, I don't remember seeing rifled barrels that were threaded for chokes.
