Jennie-O Turkey Store in Willmar is recalling nearly 55,000 pounds of frozen, raw turkey burgers that it says were sold at Sam's Club Stores nationwide. The meat may be
contaminated with Salmonella.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the recall Saturday.
It includes 4-pound boxes of Jennie-O's ``All Natural Turkey
Burgers with seasonings Lean White Meat.'' Each box contains 12
individually wrapped burgers. The packages have a use-by date of
Dec. 23, 2011.

Jennie-O says the products were sold only at Sam's Club, and
customers should return to the stores for a refund.

The West Central Tribune reports Sunday that 12 people in
Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi,
Missouri, Ohio, Washington, and Wisconsin have become ill over the
last four months.
