Be certain you have the proper training and follow the safety rules....Most states require a hunter safety course, if your doesn't it is still recommend.
Handling a gun is an adult responsibility, seek assistance from an experienced adult individual...Be safe and Have fun. Hunting can provide many years of fun and challenges....

I would suggest a 20 gauge, full choke, single shot, used shotgun in youth model size, if you are average size for a 13 year old.

20 ga. doesn't kick much.
full choke is needed for turkey.
single shot will make you learn to take only good shots
and a youth model so the length of pull is correct and you can quickly and safely shoulder the gun.
A used gun because it is less money and you will soon grow out of it.

Be safe....
Very Well Said!!!
