Ground Turkey Recall!!!

I don't know about you but in an effort to try and keep a low fat diet I purchase quite of bit of ground turkey.  If you use ground turkey as well then this might be of interest to you.

Today I received an email stating that there is a ground turkey recall.  Of course one of the brands is one that I frequently purchase so I thought it would be important to share.
