Mrs. () Siemens, I'm guessing it's on the skin. Brine it! maybe that will dissolve some of it off. Or, at least wash and wipe it off with towels. b.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Eww! sorry to hear that! They inject all kinds of nasty stuff into meats these days, even up to 10% of it's weight :-( They have ways of pumping fluids into them, not sure what they didi with the margarine. I won't buy meat at Wal-mart for that reason. Take care, Alice - violist & HSing mom to Alice (DS) born Thanksgiving Day 1995 :-) Hopewell Junction, NY http://users.bestweb.net/~castella castella@... AAARRRGGG!!! I can't believe this!!!!! I bought a HUGE turkey, thinking this would be great, I would have a big pot of stock plus enough meat for many meals. I was just getting it ready for the oven this morning when I notice the words " Ingredients " . I didn't look for that before because it was an unstuffed turkey, the only ingredient I thought would be turkey! Well it said corn oil and soy oil and margarine!!!! I am so mad!!!!! I spent a LOT on that turkey, wasting it is NOT an option, but I am just fuming. Why on earth would they put that stuff on/in (where do you put it?) a TURKEY?? Great, now I have to read the ingredients on a hunk of meat!!! :::sigh::: well, nothing can be done about it now, I'll be sure to check the lable next time. Anyone have any recipes for cooked turkey meat? -- Mrs. () Siemens Blessed to be his helpmeet, 6 years and counting!!!

They also inject " broth " which could be full of gluten, TVP, etc. - Even the " minimally processed " birds could have some of this - one needs to find a really organic, pastured, barely processed possibly heritage expensive bird to really feel secure.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 ::sigh:: looks like we're stuck until we get the farm. Oh well, 5 more years and we SHOULD be able to start looking for one.

Unfortunately (as someone may have already mentioned; sorry about replying so late) birds are often injected with all sorts of nasties to plump them up. You have to be really careful with poultry and pork products even aside from the other standard reasons to be extremely picking about sources. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
