Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I looked at a ton of the breasts and didn't find any without illegals. But I did find a Butterball fresh whole turkey (NOT FROZEN) that had no illegals - but it's the fresh only, not frozen. The other major brand has a fresh turkey also but it had illegals - I can't remember the name... but anyway only the Butterball fresh one was legal. I'm just so excited to have found one! I'm hosting this year - so I can ensure gets no illegals. He's doing so well I just can't risk it! Robbie Legal Turkey Brand? Do the turkey breasts in the store have illegals on them like some of the whole chickens do? What are some legal brands? Ones without gluten, sugar or starch? I won't be able to get a free range one, which I regret, but waited too late and don't have a health food within 90 miles. I usually order stuff through a co-op but forgot about turkey.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Injected with illegals? What do you mean? The frozen ones all had illegals, but this particular 'fresh young' turkey by butterball didn't. It said on the label 'minimally processed, not basted' and fresh, not frozen, in a retained 5% solution of water.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Anything that says it's minimally processed should be safe. That's with any kind of poultry. I also have a fresh Wampler foods turkey that is not injected or basted...etc. Most FROZEN turkeys will be injected with some kind of broth or solution. It will be printed on the packaging if it is injected with something. It's not easy to find though, so you have to really look. So you're in luck! You wouldn't want a frozen turkey now anyhow. But look at the fresh one's closely too! They sometimes have added broth solutions to them. I was going to by some turkey cutlets to make Sam a quickie Thanksgiving dinner to send to school, but all of them had a solution on them..... Usually a store with a butcher in house will have more meats without additives. Places like those big Walmart stores generally only carry meats (poultry especially!) that have solutions because they aren't cut and packaged in house. They come from miles and miles away and need something to protect the freshness and flavor on them......yuck! A bit of Feingold wisdom!
