High brass #5s should work just fine for turkeys.
The link below will tell you who made the Western Field model you have. All the nest...

All of the 20 gauge turkey loads I’m familiar with are 3”
Keep in mind, you don’t need a so called turkey load to kill a turkey!!!
Pattern the gun with the load you intend to use and know its limits.

I searched everywhere I could think of for 2 3/4" Turkey loads for my wife's Remington 1100 LT-20 and came up empty. We finally settled on Winchester Super-X Super Pheasant with 1 oz. of copper plated #5 shot @ 1300 FPS. They patterned extremely well in the gun, and so far the longest kill for this combo is 36 yds.
