does a turkey weigh less after it's been cooked!? were we screwed over by this place!? it definitely doesn't look like a 15 pound turkey!. i put it on a postage scale and it says 7 pounds! Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
You need to complain to the Better Business Bureau!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Check the order form, or the reciept! it should say what it was on there! if you have a camera take a pic of it on the scale! Call the company and explain what happened! Maybe they screwed up the order! Someone may have gotten a huge turkey and is saying " what am I gonna do with all this!?"
But relax and make a couple calls first!Www@FoodAQ@Com

They weigh slightly less, but not that much!. That is not right! If you have time, take it back or plan to cook extra food to compensate for the lack of turkey!. Sorry that happened to you!. Don't let it ruin your holiday!.!.!. it's just turkey!.!.!. the important thing is to have your loved ones with you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if it was frozen when you bought it may have weighed about 12lb i cant see how you could loose over half the weight cooking looks like you been had !.A 7lb turkey would be like a big chicken it all sounds very doubt ful try another scalesWww@FoodAQ@Com

If you put it on your credit card, I'd dispute the charge if they don't refund you!.

[ETA] If you have a credit card logo on your debit card and you didn't have to enter an PIN to get it, then just call your bank!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It depends!. If it was precut and deboned then they probably wieghed it before it was cooked and deboned!. If it was a whole turkey then they cheated youWww@FoodAQ@Com

A cooked bird will weigh a little less than raw, but should definitely NOT weigh half of what it started with!.

You did not get the right turkey, so I would definitely call and complain!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sounds to me like you've been had!. The only weight it would lose being cooked would be grease!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

You got screwed by 8 pounds!. Take it back!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think you got screwed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
