How do you know if a raw turkey has gone bad?

Answer 1

Meat that has "gone bad" will usually smell odd -- but not always! The rule is, if the meat has been left out of the refrigerator long enough to become warm to the touch, you should not cook and eat it. Meat should still be cool if it is "good."

Answer 2

Normally colour and smell are the first indicators. The colour will show a greenish sheen and the smell is certainly something that will be clear.

The rule always is "if in doubt, dont eat it".

Answer 3

The smell will be the first sign and it is a hard one to miss. It could also feel slimy or sticky. If the turkey has been cooked, you might also see mold.

Answer 4

Some ways to tell if raw ground turkey has gone bad is the smell, the coloration and if it has a slimy texture to it.

Answer 5

the smell would be the first hint, but not always. Check for discoloring of the skin. Slimliness would be another sign of spoilage

Answer 6
