2. Low heat, and olive or corn oil.
Thats what I've been told. They apparently make great turkey parmesan too. I've been lately and belatedly getting advice before I try new stuff.

3. Return them.
Seriously! I bought a jar of "fresh" salsa there once and it was atrocious. They take returns no questions asked. I love Costco.

9. Don't feel guilty.
There's a reason why stores have a return policy. They want you to be satisfied, right?

Otherwise, it'll just go to waste, and that's more wrong than returning it.

5. Flavour can be basted in,
I recommend a mixture of soy sauce, worchestershire, a good shot of hot sauce and any good Italian salad dressing. The fat in the salad dressing will help to put a bit of moisture back into them. And the rest is sheer flavouring.

8. See, the deal is...
Turkey doesn't have a lot of fat (flavor) so you have to add that. Spices, condiments, curries... just salt and pepper will help. Soy sauce (low sodium), garlic, cumin, tumeric etc.
