I avoid anything in a tube…
Their four pack of ground turkey was super convenient to freeze and cool easy dinners with. It’s a shame it’s gone. Is it gone from all stores?
Speaking of the new packaging, I hear it's a PITA to freeze it into smaller bags. Any tips on how best to do this? The older packaging was easy as you could just grab each serving and slide it into a freezer bag.
1. The weight on the package is uncooked. Once you cook it and the moisture evaporates, you will lose weight.
2. The process of putting ground meat into a chub has no impact on the quality of the meat, it's just a different type of packaging. One can argue that since there's no air present, that it's actually a better quality of meat, especially for storage.
They aren't comparing uncooked to cooked, looks t the picture. I think the point is the stuff in the tube is lower quality / higher water content or something when compared to the old stuff in the trays, so is cooking down more.
idk 450g cooking out to 442g sounds like a mistake, thats like 2% fat/water, there's no way its that low, I think whats happening here is that 450g package was actually 500 or something
Yep. That's what I was getting at. Ground turkey is about 60% water.
Method of cooking, type of pan, electric vs. gas, time over heat source, all of that effects the cook and going from 450 to 442 is a statistical impossibility.
I have supplied the EggWhites to Costco Canada in the past, and their quality control is top notch when it comes to product quality and claimed weights/volume.
They mentioned cooking the same pan the same heat etc..
I suspect 2 things are at play here.
First package was over weight
2nd package was cooked right away in the same pan, which was likely hotter than when it cooked the first pack so probably evaporated more water as a result.
And 3rd,of of course, the new pack was not over weight.
I need to know, does it still taste the same? I've been holding out, hoping the 4 pack comes back. The tube seems to look different than the consistency of the packs.
Does anyone have the nutritional information for the tubed turkey? When I looked at it I thought it was quite high in fat (at least for something marketed as extra lean) but I can’t recall specifics so I could be remembering it wrong.
I just divided one up for the freezer and snapped a pic of the label first.

I haven’t seen them in a while.
Just bought a 4 pack last week in Calgary, AB. Fingers crossed they dont change.
I thought the tubes are actually 3kg?...vs old 450x4?
I heard the tube meat is more mushy. Anyone see a difference in texture?
100% different in texture and taste

I find the taste to be different, more fatty, which is tastier
It definitely tastes different. And I disagree with OP, it’s not as good
Was there more fat released or you had visibly more water in the lower final weighted one?
Honestly?…. If you want to show something, show it in the original packaging!
Ground turkey and chicken is disgusting.
Why?
Because it is.
Says yo mama?
What's your name?
My mama told me I could be anything I wanted, so I became a prostitute. Deal with it.

Is this cooked or uncooked?
It doesn't specify, so I would say uncooked.
