Use a local Butcher and find out where the Turkeys are sourced from. We gave up on Tesco meat a long time ago, it is vile.
Ah yes the butcher who supplies the "fresh" turkey that he bought from the wholesaler who buys from a producer who buys them Frozen from a farm in Poland but is allowed to defrost & prepare them in the UK before selling them with "produce of the UK"On the whole though the meat in the butcher trade is far far superior, the only issue is when you see the wholesale price an hear butchers claim they can barely make ends meet.

Pretty obvious who the Tesco customers are.
If a local butcher had a not so greet reputation for meat I'be be hesitant buying from there. I certainly wouldn't buy my Christmas dinner from there and I wouldn't be accepting a replacement from them either.
can I ask where you buy your meat from?If a local butcher had a not so greet reputation for meat I'be be hesitant buying from there. I certainly wouldn't buy my Christmas dinner from there and I wouldn't be accepting a replacement from them either.

Is all meat from Tesco bad? Which ones are bad? Why are they bad? Where do Tesco get their meat from?
the meat that Tesco uses is the same stuff all the other supermarkets use as well as some butchers. there are some slight variations sue to welfare standards and potentially breeds.the green die stuff looks like the stuff that is used for meat for non human consumption..
I'm another who avoids Tesco for meat, other things and supermarkets as well. . My key buying parameters are price and quality, the origin of the produce I include in the quality parameter. To me it *has* to be British, (aside capons of course) .
I'm lucky enough to have 3 farm shops, which to a varying degree are on my doorstep. The closest, just a mile away , sells beef and lamb from their own animals, another is superb for pork, the other poultry,all their own animals.
Not the cheapest of course, but you tend to get what you pay for , the beef, as example, is dry hung, with enhanced flavours , because of.
Horses for courses! (no pun intended)

Why would it be bright green like that? Has it just "gone off" inside? Dodgy additives?
some googling suggests that it's from muscle atrophy. Basically the chickens/turkey don't flap their wings enough to activate the tissue around the breast. as they get larger blood to the area gets restricted, leading to atrophy and the colour.Gassing Station | Food, Drink & Restaurants | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
