Thank you for contacting the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line via the Internet.

When there are dietary concerns, we advise purchasing Butterball Fresh Turkey and Butterball Fresh Breast of Turkey, which are all natural and contain no added ingredients. The breast meat of Butterball Frozen Turkeys, including Butterball Frozen Stuffed Turkey, is moistness enhanced with a patented recipe of ingredients to yield a more uniformly juicy and tender turkey after cooking.  Individual ingredients are specified on the labels of all Butterball Frozen Turkeys and Butterball frozen line extension products.  

Because the frozen Stuffed Butterball Turkey is stuffed with a traditional bread stuffing, it does contain gluten.  The gravy packets that come with some products also contain gluten.

If you have further questions regarding gluten in a Butterball product, please call Consumer Affairs (1-800-325-7424).  When calling, please have available the UPC number of the product in question.


If you have additional questions don't hesitate to contact us again, or call the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line at 1-800-BUTTERBALL (1-800-288-8372) and speak directly to a professional home economist.  And if you would like to receive a five-minute video, "How to Prepare a Picture-Perfect Turkey," available in both English and Spanish, please call the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line or send your name, address, check (made payable to "Butterball Video Offer") or money order for $3.50 and written request specifying which video version to:  Butterball Turkey Talk-Line Video Offer, P.O.
