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.
Nothing like seeing a kids eyes light up upon hearing that first gobble.

Good luck to the young lady.
