The new turkey mini kievs are absolutely vile i was so excited for these as I loved the old ones I bought 2 packs and they both ended up in the bin! I thought i was eating something vegan they are mushy and taste horrible.
Disappointed
Didn’t know they changed the recipe but this is awful. Used to love mini kievs, won’t be buying anymore. Mushy, cheaper meat and no filling. Tase cheap and nasty

Mini Kiev's have always been a favourite for me. But these new cheap versions taste like turkey grease mix with a breaded stuffing mix type. With a nasty pungent cheese inside nothing like the creamy garlic cheese sauce I used to remember. Definitely will not buy Bernard Matthews again. Greedy cooperation
Used to love these
Used to love these, just bought them for the first time in years and they’ve completely changed the recipe, the meat is bland, mushy like mash potato. The sauce is flavourless and nothing in there. The batter has changed also. Couldn’t finish them and the rest of the pack are going in the bin. Do not buy
If i could give no stars i would
If i could give no stars i would.
I use to love these mini keivs and would have them regularly.
But the new change is horrible. Hardly any filling and what filling there is taste different. They smell different aswell . So disappointed
Brought some mini kiev balls today
Brought some mini kiev balls today. Was very excited to enjoy these. Will not be buying again. First bite tastied wierd. The texture was like mash, no filling and the breadcrumbs tastied funny. We actually stopped eating them and had to check if we brought some vegan version. Do not buy these anymore
New mini kievs
The new mini kievs are the worst thing they have every done, they taste revolting and whats makes it worse they put price up and less in the packet for a far less superior to the orginal ones from the past. Would never buy again as soon as i bite into one wanted to vomit and rest went in bin, never been so disappointed in my life.
I wouldn’t even give 1 star at the…
Turkey kievs! I wouldn’t even give 1 star at the minute, my kids have been asking for these for week but we couldn’t find them, found them in new packaging so bought 6 bags. Tasted them last night and they both said they didn’t like them, I thought they were just being fussy and daft. Tried one myself and wow…they taste disgusting! The meat didn’t taste or feel like meat…more like a paste clumped together and really bready and the garlic was really not nice and even if it was, it was barely there, really regret getting so many bags as the pack we used just went into the bin. I don’t know what has happened but we’ve wasted quite a bit of money on something that used to taste so nice but actually I wouldn’t feed my enemy
Now I know why they’re on offer!
I purchased the mini kievs on offer! I kid you not - wrong move! My daughter always looked forward to a couple of Kievs on her plate. I gave her 4 and she just about ate 1. Me not realising the recipe had changed my daughter brought it to my attention. It didn’t even settle and later rejected from her system!
Mr Bernard Matthews, I beg you don’t change the recipe of the Turkey drummers otherwise you and my daughter will definitely fall out 100%. You let down the nation on this one!
Are they trying to ruin the business?!
Honestly, what was their Brand Change team thinking putting these new Turkey Kievs out. Genuinely awful. I tried 2 and binned the bag.
They taste off and the texture is really disgusting. Just going to make my own from now on, I can’t cook but I’ll do a better job than this carnage.
Wow the mini kievs
Wow the mini kievs use to be my favourite so we bought the news inea today 30th jan 26 and there fowl how can you sell this rubbish bring back the orininals
What's happened with turkey drummers
What's happened with turkey drummers, I won't be buying them again. They now taste like cardboard. This in no joke. Tasteless vile and brown inside. Not that I expect from Bernard Matthews. We also bought the turkey dinosaurs but have not yet seen if these are the same. Hopefully not!! Sort it out Bernard
Awful news mini Kiev's
Used to love the mini keiv's. Hadn't had them for a while since before the change and recently picked up a few bags. However after trying the new ones it's safe to say I will not be having these again there awful and honestly ide rather eat dog poo then eat those again the rest are going in the bin.
I mean why even change something that ain't broken propper risky move this and unfortunately it's backfired. Just hope they don't ruin the rest of the products they sell.
I dunno what there smoking over there but it ain't good . Just give us our normal mini Kiev's back!.
