<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I called the Diestel turkey people today and they assured me that their turkeys contain only turkey, no additives. Diestel Family Turkey Farms (209) 532-4950. My question came about because the plastic package the turkey is in says "no artificial additives." I saw no list of other additives, but knowing of the potential difficulties with natural flavorings, it made me curious and I called. As I'm sure it is with many of you, my motto is better safe than sorry. Happy holidays to all. Toni
