Families claim their Christmases were ruined after allegedly receiving rotten turkeys from major supermarkets around the country. After making the grim discoveries as they began to prepare for the festive dinner, affected customers have been sharing pictures of the gone-off poultry on social media.
One bird, which had a dark blue and black colour underneath its skin, was even compared to looking similar to the famous alien ET, Birmingham Live reports. Sophie Whike shared a picture of the turkey on Twitter and wrote: "Literally what the hell is this. Just defrosted my Turkey from @LidlGB.
"Christmas ruined. It's Xmas eve - this is actually a joke. Not only is there no meat, the house smells of rotten meat - not acceptable." Others faced similar issues as they tried to prepare their turkeys.
