Turkey help

Help.
My husband put the turkey in the oven to defrost and my son decided to bake a cake.

Yes - you guessed it - he turned the oven on to warm up - the turkey now has melted plastic and semi cooked skin. What do you think. If it won't be OK for us would it be OK for the dog and cats if I skinned it?

  • I'd bin it and start again - get the to a butchers 1st thing - it's not worth the risk of you or the animals spending a week at the vet for the sake of £10 - £30 quid.

    If you can't get a Turkey get a nice piece of beef for a change.

    I wouldn't even think about risking turkey/chicken its just not worth it.

    I'm sure you've still got time to buy a frozen one, which will be defrosted for xmas morning. Ours is a size for about 4, and I don't have to take mine out of the freezer until late tomorrow night.

    So even if you start to defrost straight away, these still time.
