Just the turkey out. Waitrose crown in tin. Instructions said remove packing except tin but just discovered a foil pad under the turkey. Is this ok to eat?

Doesn't the metal tin clash with the microwave ? Thought you could only use ceramic plates/bowls ?

I did the same thing OP, didn’t even know it was there until I took the turkey out of the oven tray to carve it.

It’ll be absolutely fine, just bin it (the foil pad, not the turkey - eat the turkey)

I do this all the time with chickens. Im 53 and alive. Just don't eat the pad.

It'll be fine. I'm always forgetting to remove bits of packaging off meat.

The turkey, yes. The foil pad, no 🤣
