Beginner's Turkey--Is mine self-basting or not?

[Petra Z]

Hi all!

I'd like to make the beginner's turkey recipe with the bird I have in the freezer. It doesn't say "self-basting", but it does say "contains up to 9.5% natural turkey broth and seasonings". Would this qualify as a self basting bird? It does have a little pop-up "it's done" timer.

To be honest, I've never heard of a self basting bird, so assume it's not and all will be good.
