This Week In Meat: Ground Turkey Recalled; Beef Fat Beauty Treatments; And Meaty Weekend Shenanigans

• Ground Turkey Recalled for Second Time: Cargill Inc. recalled more than 185,000 pounds of ground turkey Sunday, fearing that the meat may be contaminated with salmonella. The recall involves ground meat, patties, and chubs under the brandnames Kroger, Fresh HEB, and Cargill's Honeysuckle White.

This is the second salmonella-related recall in six weeks from the company, the first involving around 36 million pounds of ground turkey on Aug. 3. Needless to say, it's a good time to stay away from turkey burgers. [CBS]
