I bought the precooked turkey because I only wanted a small amount. I tried
to cook a boneless turkey breast once and we didn't like it. So I wasn't
going to try that again and this tasted perfectly fine to me.

No, and I won't. I do not like meat, plain and simple. I do have to eat
some because I can not have eggs or dairy and beans alone are just not
enough protein for me. We do all like bacon but that is really the only
pork that we like. Both husband and daughter love steaks. That's really
the only meat they like. Lamb is very expensive. I can't eat it and
husband won't. Daughter won't now that she knows what it is but she did
like it. Nobody here has any interest in game meats although husband has
eaten strange things made as jerky. He has also eaten alligator. I do tuna
salad and casserole once in a while and also fish and chips for them. They
do like it but I have to limit the fish and seafood because of husband's
gout.

Perhaps things like duck, goose and game meats are common where you are at.
They are not here and neither is veal. They are also expensive and I tend
not to do expensive. If I have to buy expensive meat, I'll buy steak
because I know they'll eat that.
