Yes, it was raw meat, which I think conundrum realizes. For some reason, he just has a burr up his xxx about this particular turkey product. I actually don't recognize the name so not sure how long he/she has been around, but I'm about as long form and from scratch sort of cook there is. If they have read any of my "usual" posts, this is not typical of me. I happened across these, and thought it tasted good. Obviously, I crossed some line in their world, but I guess the world knows it's processed now. So buyer beware...
