My cat won't eat ground turkey that's pre-packaged, only fresh stuff from the poultry store or the organic meat case at one of several natural and organic groceries I frequent. I bought some ground turkey for him (more than once) at Trader Joe's and he wouldn't touch it, but the fresh ground from the local poultry place was devoured in a flash. Comparing the two, I can understand his preference.
Now, what's this got to do with the thread? Well, the poultry store turkey is fresh every day, ground fresh or to order several times a day, has a great feel and texture to it, and smells different.
TJ's ground turkey has "natural flavorings" is more watery, doesn't hold together as well when making patties, and, surprisingly (maybe not) doesn't last as long in the refrigerator as the fresh ground.
I no longer buy TJ's ground turkey.
