difference between turkey and ham?

Question

i have a sandwich here. and im muslim and i don't eat pork. i was wondering if the meat in it is ham or turkey, for those of you who eat both. it tastes smokey, so it could be smoked ham or turkey. oscar meyer, perhaps? its very slightly pink...not as pink as ham usually is. but i've seen very light colored ham before. lol. so...any differences in the grain of meat or something?

Answer 1

If you are a true Muslim, you'll not want to take a chance on eating ham....give the sandwich to someone else.

Answer 2

If they've both been processed (pulled apart and put back together with seasoning) you can't tell the grain apart. Smoked turkey by Oscar Meyer is usually a very pale pink. Ham is always a darker pink, especially if it's been processed.

Unprocessed smoked ham and turkey are easier to tell apart. Smoked ham pulls apart in bigger chunks and has a much coarser grain than smoked or unsmoked turkey, which usually pulls apart easier and along the grain of the meat.

I'm thinking that you have smoked turkey or smoked turkey ham (which is all turkey, made to look like ham)--especially if it's pale in color.

However, the only way to be 100% certain is to call the establishment that made your sandwich, or just eat the veggies. :)

Answer 3

Ham is pink,and turkey is white that's the breast meat and sometimes turkey is from the legs and that meat is usually dark. Hope that will help.

Answer 4

pork and ham comes from pigs
turkey comes from a turkey bird

Answer 5

turkey is sometimes softer and wetter and ham is sometimes suppose to be harder and pinker. I've never seen pink turkey

Answer 6

uh if you are a true muslim you would have prepared or bought the exact thing you could eat. You should know that if you doubt the content you should not eat it.
