Wish I had read the reviews before buying a turkey at Sam’s, , it was very tough and not much taste at all, only part that was good to eat was the thighs

Tough, chewy, smelled weird after cooking. I've brined and seasoned my turkeys the same way year after year and never had a turkey as bad as this one.

Spongy, stringy, and totally flavorless. This wasn't a cooking issue — the bird itself was the problem. Member's Mark turkeys are heavily injected with “solution” that makes the meat rubbery and watery, and Sam's Club is known for meats that have been frozen, thawed, and refrozen, which destroys the texture even more. If you want real turkey flavor and normal texture, go with a fresh, not injected turkey (Butterball Fresh, Bell %26 Evans, Amish/local). Cheap bird = disappointing holiday. Save yourself the headache.

This store promotion No Antibiotic Ever turkey was not satisfactory. It was tough, dry, and bland. Preparing it for roasting I notice dry white spots various places, similar to freezer burn or production mishandling but I had no choice but to proceed. The roasted turkey was not good. Dry, tough, chewy. Disappointing for everyone at my table. I am a food service professional who has baked hundreds of turkeys. I knew what I was doing. I saw this seemingly quality turkey during my first of many stops, shopping for Thanksgiving. I intended to buy another brand at another store but decided to swing back to Sams to purchase this. I was pleasantly surprised by a special discount of $10 off. I hadn't noticed that. But it was not why I bought it I expected to pay full price. Unfortunately this was a terrible deal. I put much effort into preparing this for my friends and family. I usually send everyone home with leftover turkey but this year they declined the offer. Now I suspect Sam's had to know it was a bad quality product. Other bad reviews mention similar issues.

not the best turkey, a little tough

It was tough, not tender.

We bought 16 turkeys to smoke for a church thanksgiving dinner and they were great!

Great price and quality turkey,

I'd buy this again. Juicy, fresh. Came inside good size for additional needs

Very good bird! Even had the pop out “I’m done” thing. Will purchase again!
