What should I feed turkeys to get HUGE ones for Xmas?

They are Norfolk Blacks and will be 8 weeks old when they come to me. I would like them to have the most natural diet - what do they eat in the wild??

Update:

I apologise for the "X"mas. Just lazy, I guess.

Update 2:

Critterman51 - I wouldn't dream of other than letting them run over my acre-or-so of grassland! Same as Chickens really, then. Thanks!

    Give them free range for a natural diet. In the wild they eat a wide variety of seeds,nuts,berries, plants, insects, reptiles, and small mammals. To grow them BIG feed them commercial poultry grower food.
