People have taken to social media to complain of 'rotten' turkeys ruining their big meal this Christmas Day. Ready to enjoy the special meal, these customers say they sat down to eat the centrepiece of their dinner - only to find a rotten bird inside.
They have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment over the spoiled turkeys to the supermarkets where they were purchased, reports HullLive.

@EllenAlsop tweeted: "Bought a Turkey less than 5 hours ago from @sainsburys opened it to give a soak overnight and it absolutely stinks. I’m so gutted. A complete waste thanks @sainsburys."
While @zoebrewer4 also contacted Sainsbury's on Twitter stating: "@sainsburys Please get back to me asap about this! £40 for a rotten turkey." She included a photo of a rather grey looking turkey.
@SophieHou6 contacted Tesco with a similar complaint: "@Tesco no Turkey on Christmas Day thanks to opening ours and it being so rotten it caused my other half to throw up. That’s £40 of bird gone straight in the bin and no meat for Christmas dinner. Who do we send this rotten bird to, to get a refund please?"
This year has also seen a rise in the number of people posting images from previous years and acting as if they are from this year. Several users on Twitter have used the same image of a turkey, each claiming to be left eating beans on toast on Christmas Day.
A Tesco spokesperson said: “We’re really sorry to hear about this. We know that turkey is an important part of Christmas for many of our customers and we take great care when selecting and preparing our turkeys. We would ask Ms Hou to return the product to one of our stores so we can investigate further, and issue a full refund.”
A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “We understand our customers enjoy turkey at Christmas and we are very sorry to hear that for a very tiny number of people we did not meet our usual high standards. We are apologising and investigating immediately. We would ask anyone with similar concerns to return their product to one of our stores to be refunded and for this to be investigated further."
