Turkey Shock in Suffolk
Vets in Suffolk are trying to understand how 160,000 turkeys came to be living at a Bernard Matthews farm near Lowestoft. They were alerted to the situation after an outbreak of bird flu, but were alarmed to find that almost all of the poultry was destined for human consumption. 'Like most people we assumed that Bernard Matthews turkey was some kind of horrible genetic experiment, grown in labs and marketed as meat. We were horrified that actual turkeys go into making something that looks and tastes nothing like turkey,' said a Health Protection Agency officer. 'They've obviously been very clever in hiding the fact that what they're selling is actual food.'

This still doesn't explain what a 'turkey twizzler' is. And is it illegal if you don't do it in the privacy of one of those sheds?
