Diesel or avgas in a turbine engine

I've heard that its ok to run a Kingair's turbines on avgas or diesel even, for a limited time.

Just wondering if anyone could substantiate this? Or explain what the consequences would be?

But why can't you run a piston engine with Jet A1?

What about using diesel or avgas for a Cessna Caravan, or any other turbine for that matter?

Thanks.
