How to tell if ground turkey is bad?!
I've had this ground turkey sitting in the fridge for a lil bit!. Can't remember how long, but I think it's been less than a week!. It was grayish and some liquid at the bottom, but it had been frozen before that!. It didn't have any discoloration, and no odor, but in the pan it smells weird!. Like!.!.!. breakfast sausage, but in a weird way!.
So, is it bad or good!? And please don't say the "If in doubt throw it out"
Basically, does ground turkey have a sharp odor when cooking!? Thanks

If it was frozen before, you can expect some graying and some liquid when it defrosts!. If it smells OK before you cook it, then what you're smelling is normal cooking smell!. You should be able to keep it safely in the fridge for about 3 days before cooking!. And if you cook the heck out of it, even if it's got something in it, you'll kill it so it won't hurt you, it'll just taste bad!. So cook up a tablespoon of the stuff and taste it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
