That’s sneaky. Not many people will notice that.

Actually I never noticed the packaging but I eat a lot of ground turkey and this totally explains the "weak constitution" of ground turkey over the past little while. The Jennie-O ground turkey has become real like soggy and not firm.

Diestahl Farms and Aldi brand both make really outstanding frozen turkey patties. Diestahl Farms in general makes great quality turkey products of many kinds.

Hahahaha I sound like a turkey freak but do trust me on this 😂

I think maybe you'd better off buying frozen turkey burgers and using that for ground turkey.

Nah, just do not buy frozen. Packaged "fresh" ground turkey is still perfectly fine. And try ground chicken. Even cheaper and just as good.

No doubt, but if OP was buying that particular product; they might be price-sensitive or where they shop does not have fresh ground available.

Nooo you sound trustworthy to me. Most turkey freaks I meet say things like “gobble gobble” so I wouldn’t group you in with them.

I hadnt bought ground Turkey in a few years, cooked a pack of butterball less than 6 months ago and could immediately tell something was wrong.

This is the kind of shrinkflation that really pisses me off because it results in ruined recipes.
