Do self basting turkeys have gluten?

It's impossible to say for sure whether a self-basting turkey contains gluten without knowing the specific brand and ingredients. Here's why:

* Self-basting turkeys often contain a solution injected under the skin. This solution can vary depending on the manufacturer.

* Some self-basting solutions might contain ingredients that are derived from wheat or barley, which contain gluten. This could be things like flavorings, seasonings, or thickeners.

* Other self-basting solutions might be gluten-free.

The best way to know for sure is to check the ingredient list on the packaging of the specific self-basting turkey you are considering. Look for any ingredients that contain wheat, barley, or rye.

If you have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity, it's always best to err on the side of caution and avoid self-basting turkeys. You could also opt for a fresh turkey and make your own basting solution using gluten-free ingredients.
