Help Finding gluten-free Turkey Breast To Roast.

I tried two local supermarkets yesterday and didn't find a turkey breast (to roast, not deli) I felt safe buying. One that is listed in my Cecelia's Gluten-Free book has modified food starch and didn't specify what was in it. Any suggestions? I shop in the Syracuse, NY area and that includes Auburn and Skaneateles.

Thanks.

I would go to a Wegmans in your area. There should be one somewhere close by. Their meat dept is very helpful about checking their items. That's where I usually get my bird.

Jennie-O has a list of gluten free turkey products here:

Just scroll down, it's close to the bottom of the page.

Good Luck!

If you don't want self-basting or "injected" for other reasons that's fine, but I don't know of ANY unstuffed turkeys that have gluten and every time I ask for folks to name ones they've found WITH gluten -- as I'll do again now -- all I get is silence. IOW, turkeys are generally safe. Jenny-O, Butterball, Marval and on and on. Your turkey with MFS would say wheat if it were wheat, and you simply aren't going to find modified barley or rye starch.

Apparently the HoneyBaked Turkeys are now gluten free. Something they were not last year. You actually replied to that post. Your reply is quoted below. Obviously your insistance that all are gluten-free and you have never heard of one that isn't is not accurate.

Honeybaked Ham/turkey Is Now Gluten Free!

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=63669

"Here's what the HB website FAQ says when you go to look at ingredients:

* You are now free to enjoy any of our signature meats (HoneyBaked Ham, Sliced & Glazed Turkey, HoneyBaked Deli Style Boneless Ham) without wheat gluten.

The ingredients used to clearly list wheat. Now the wheat is gone. "

I think Richard was referring to "raw uncooked turkeys", the kind folks spend hours roasting for TG. :D Raw meat containing gluten should be clearly labeled.

I'd consider the "HoneyBaked" turkey product a "lunch meat" or a type of "prepared meat", and there's lots of posts about prepared meats/lunch meat--many of them contain gluten.

I went to Wegman's yesterday and found a fresh turkey breast that is nothing but turkey and water. It is their brand and I found a small breast for under $12. An employee from the butcher shop was stocking turkeys and I asked him just for further information. He said it was nothing but turkey. I really am fortunate to live in Wegman's country. I did some regular shopping and enjoyed the number of their own labels that are marked gluten free. I have heard that someone in the Wegman family has celiac disease and I guess that is why they are so celiac friendly.

Yea they're a great company. I also heard that they have a celiac in the family. One thing I really like is they don't consider all distilled vinegars gluten-free. I am one of the unfortunate folks that reacts to distilled gluten grains and I was really happy when they started labeling their safe ones. If I ever relocate I'll decide where by doing a search for all their locations. :D

I don't know if you have a Giant in your area or not - I just went shopping with my mom and all of their Giant Quality turkeys were self-basting, etc, but marked Gluten Free and MSG Free. And those were the type you get for free afte 300 shopping points :)

I was indeed speaking of raw uncooked turkeys, not something like the Honeybaked turkeys. As I said, I've yet to find one that has gluten.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!
