Remember - even for turkeys, you don't need heavy loads. Be nice to your old guns and use low pressure loads from RST or some other manufacturer of ammo made for older guns. It sounds like your Parker with full/full chokes is just the ticket for turkeys. All you really need is pattern density and head shots at reasonable yardage (closer if possible). Man, are you gonna have some fun!
one thing I was confused about with that dean, I'm planning on only shooting Rst in my Damascus guns, but the mn DNR says that for turkey you have to use and I quote " number 4 shot or smaller" most RST shells (outside of non toxic shot) are # 5,6,7,7 1/2,8 maby I'm over thinking this but it confuses me #6 shot is "smaller" than 4 and #6 with proper chokes would be a correct load for and in range turkey right?
