Sometimes, ground turkey has an intense blood smell when I'm cooking it. Once, our neighbor actually complained.

It didn't smell rotten, just intense. Tasted fine. No tummy troubles.

No

How are you even not considering this

just cook it up with some random mushrooms and wild onions growing on the WH compost heap

Serve it up to the West Wing

Fermented turkey meat is what many Americans believe killed all 6 thousand dinosaurs during the Pre-Trumpocene era.

Are you guys sure it's not the "vacuum-packed" smell? I'm paranoid about food safety and really had to force myself to get over how foul most sealed meat smells after you open its package.

I eat ground turkey frequently. The other day I bought a famous brand name ground turkey and it smelled like rendered fat -- awful, and stunk when cooked. Not a spoiled odor, but the odor of turkey grease. I wrote the company and they sent coupons for another package of the product. Usually, the ground turkey I buy (85% or 93$ does not have that smell -- in fact I can eat it rare and its similar to a beef taste.

The weird ground turkey smell is actually what pushed me into going vegetarian. Each time I cooked it, there was a awful animal smell throughout the entire house. Like a cat, or a wet dog. I could even smell it whilst eating. Yuck!

I just had the same problem this evening. It was so strong I was gagging cooking it! Not a rancid smell, almost a metallic bloody smell. I thought it was just me, because I had a headache when I was cooking it. But after tasting it, the turkey meat still had a metallic type taste. I tossed all 3 lbs of it. What a waste!

I love ground turkey. We use it for taco meat, and egg roll in a bowl recipe. I make both at once, that was at we had so much meat.

This happened to us too this week. It was a 15/85 turkey mix.

I cooked it the same day I bought it. It was the nastiest, strongest meat smell every. The whole house stunk. It was not a rancid smell or rotton meat semll but so strong it turned my stomach.

We threw it all out.

I can't cook ground meat when I'm ovulating. My sense of smell seems to go through the roof for 3 days.
