not when you cooked it ,what you should never do is defrost frozen meat &refreeze before cooking it, but once cooked its fine to refreeze again .

That's poor generic advice.

If you (say) thawed chicken to the point where you can cut it in half and then re-froze half of it, the increased risk to health is zero.

What you need to avoid is completely thawing a meat and leaving it in the fridge for a couple of days before refreezing it.

Even then, if you cooked it thoroughly you would kill off the harmful bacteria.

Food scares in the past such as Salmonella can nearly always be explained as uneducated people not understanding how to cook properly and kill off the harmful bacteria.

I also made a special journey and there were none! The freezers had loads of turkeys in and they had a tag on the shelf for the £8 crowns but it looked to me like they had never put any out as they would have been jumbled up with whole turkeys. I asked a member of staff and they said there were none in stock.

There wasn't even a tag on the shelf for the £8 Turkeys, only Morrisons own for £14.

The turkeys have made a run for it! Last seen furiously paddling a raft to warmer climes, with a bottle of Morrisons half-price Bollinger under each wing....

The turkeys in Wolverhampton Morrisons must have made a run for it too because there was none to be found and I made my husband search through all of the turkeys which were lumped in together looking for the elusive £8 turkey which had to weigh between 3 to 4kg and the smallest I could find was 4.005 and if I had bought this is went up to £12. Plenty of £8 crown turkeys though.:(

Tesco frozen Bernard Matthews medium turkeys 4.05kg - 5.04kg (serves 6-7) are £15. Self-basting.
Tesco frozen Bernard Matthews turkey crown 2kg -2.3kg (serves 5-7) £15.
