Tuesday morning we went to the grocery store. I was quite shocked to see turkey parts - not whole turkey, but a pack of tenderloins or thighs and legs. We love turkey so I picked up a pack of tenerloins. The date was June 27th and the sell by date on the turkey was June 28th. No problem...I knew I would cook it that day. So I made sure I had cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes and I got the turkey ready for the oven. It smelled good cooking and we both were ready for 'Thanksgiving in June'. I sliced the meat and we sat down to eat. I took a bite of the turkey and spit it out. I am so glad I didn't chew! My husband said, "Oh no don't tell me....." I told him to taste it and he had the same reaction. It was vile but funny that it didn't smell bad. In the trash it went. That left us with sweet potatoes, corn, garden green beans and cranberry sauce....I can say I was a vegetarian for a day. Not filling that's for sure and more than disappointing. I will be taking the receipt to the store next shopping trip and get my money back. My husband said my face looked a little green to him! Not as bad as the face in the photo I hope!

Oh goodness it's strange it did not smell bad. I wounder what they do to make the meat look good. I imagine you are not going to eat turkey for months.

@AbbyGreenhill ......This experience would definitely put me off turkey for quite a while too. Like my mom and mincemeat. She loved the stuff and got into a bad batch one year and never ate the stuff again.

What a terrible shame but how strange that it didn't smell bad before you began to cook it.

Oh that is too bad, how disappointing. I am surprised though that it tasted that bad when it didn't smell bad cooking.

It has happened before like that with chicken a year ago - smelled fine and tasted horrible. Maybe it's just on the brink of turning.
