I dry brined it on a rack in the fridge fir 36 hours, then rubbed compound butter under the skin & stuffed it with bacon. Stuffed it with chopped lemon, onion & garlic, then slow roasted it at 325°F. Wow

Worst turkey I have ever made. I have prepared many in the past, and this one was tough and discusting. Do NOT put this on the table for your guests at Thanks Giving! You will be embarrest. Will never buy again!

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.

Worst turkey I ever made in my 68 years. It tasted like it was refrozen or something

Great Thanksgiving turkey

It was tough, not tender.

Very little white meat in this 16 pound turkey. Very disappointed.
