We decided to buy a fresh turkey for Christmas, it is a Butterball brand. When my husband opened it up to rinse it off it smelled ...... different. Not bad per se, but offish in a way. We do not deal with fresh meat a lot, so just wondering if this is normal. My mom and husband say it is fine, once it was rinsed it smelled better. But i still feel it smells..... funny.
Does fresh turkey normally smell different from thawed frozen turkey?
