Gun for my daughter

Y'all give me some suggestions on a reasonably priced turkey gun for my 14 year old girl. I'm thinking a Remington 870 or Mossberg 535. I've got an old 12 gauge Remington 1100 that I think is too big for her. I'm afraid it'll kick her into the next county. Also have a browning sweet 16 I might consider letting her use. I don't shoot shotguns a lot so not sure what to go with here. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My wife shoots a remington 870 youth with a elcheapo True Glo red dot sight.
This is the perfect size for a small frame person but the only complaint I have is that little gun kicks harder than my 12 guage. I would recommend getting a auto rather than a pump to cut down on the recoil for the young lady. I also prefer the Remington over the Mossberg and I do own both. They both work well but it is my experience that the Mossbergs kick more than the Remingtons. Hope this helps.

How hard do those 20's kick Pea Ridge and Morris?

Borrow one of those 20's and put federal hvy wt 7's in it and it will be a deadly combo.

870 compact in a 20 gauge is about as fine a turkey gun as you can own for a kid or an adult.
