I throw raw juices in the trash along with the packaging

Barring any smell, I would have incorporated it in my gravy, of course. You're losing out on a lot of taste, there.

If there's a foul-smelling whitish discharge, it's fat that's liquefying, and that's indicative of putrefaction. In which case, you need to throw everything out.

Thank you very much!

You made the right decision.

Making a belated Thanksgiving today for friends. So my turkey was defrosted for longer than usual and when I took it out of the plastic wrapping, there were a lot of red “juices.” Not thick enough for blood, but so red and so much I instinctively poured the red juices down the kitchen sink. Was that the correct thing to do, or should I have roasted it with the red liquid in the pan? I could not find an answer to this anywhere on line! Thank you.
