I agree to a certain extent. The extra full choke is important and will aid your success in killing a bird, but last year I did not invest in a "turkey" gun and used my 1100. It had a full choke barrel and because I spent considerable time patterning the gun I knew it's capability and killed 2 gobblers with it. I did use a gun sock to take away the glare. Your chances of killing a turkey cleanly will improve with a extra full choke, but you will need a minimum of a full choke to kill cleanly.
