Thread: Turkey help!

I bought a frozen turkey & have just realised that it has added basting juice (10% added water, sugar & flavourings) It says that the sugar content of 100g cooked meat is 0.5%. Would this be ok to eat or is the sugar too high? I've defrosted it & don't know what to do if its not allowed. Advice please?

Has it got the skin on? If it has then this will probably be the only bit that has been basted so just remove the skin and it then should be fine to eat.

Thanks, wasn't going to eat the skin. at least its only basted with add water & not butterballed!!!!!!!
