If you are unsure if your ground turkey is good or has gone bad, take a good sniff of your ground turkey.
No matter if it is raw or cooked if your ground turkey has an odor about it that smells rotten or off, then there is a good chance that your ground turkey has gone bad, it is time to be tossed.
Ideally, ground turkey that is still good should have no definitive smell or odor about it at all. If it is stinky at all don’t take the risk of cooking it.
The Look Of Ground Turkey
The second way you can tell if the ground turkey is bad is to examine the appearance of your ground turkey. Get a glimpse of the minced meat, and examine its color specifically.
You want your ground turkey to be a light pink color. If you see any kind of brown, green, yellow, or gray, these are signs that your ground turkey is bad.
Feel the minced meat
Another way you can tell if the ground turkey is bad is by the texture or feel of the meat. If it has a slimy texture to it or is sticky this means that the ground turkey has turned bad. Do not risk any kind of ground turkey that has signs it has gone bad.
Check The Expiration Date
The final check you can do to tell if the ground turkey is bad is to check the expiration date on your package. If the ground turkey expiration date is past, this is another sign that your turkey is likely no longer good to eat.
