    I often buy Inghams Turkey range as a substitute to beef. Burgers, sausages. My kids love spaghetti bolognese with Turkey mince.

    A quick and easy work lunch for me is fry up hoisin sauce, Turkey mince and red capsicum - heat in microwave at work and serve in lettuce leaves. It’s a healthy and quick meal that keeps me full afternoon. I freeze the mince mix in portions.

    The sausages were absolutely delicious, I had them by themselves and I also put them in a lot of different meals. They changed up the flavour of the meals and it was a great change of flavour! Will definetly continue buying them! I love that they not only taste great but are a much healthier option as well! My kids loved them and I even managed to get my fussy partner to eat them too! I highly recommend buying these sausages as they are absolutely beautiful!

  • This brand is always high quality

    I love this brand the turkey the chicken just all of it. It’s amazing quality and tastes the best. My three younger fussy children who are under 7 even eat the meat from inghams which I think is absolutely amazing when with other brands I have struggled to get them to eat anything! Dinner is so easy to make when you have better quality meats so it is definitely a 5 star rating all around from me.

  • 5 Star rating from me!

    They took a while to locate but when I finally got my hands on them we couldn't wait to cook them and they are delicious! We got both the rissoles and the burgers and we all got to try a bit of all of them. My kids are partial to spicy flavours so they actually preferred the burgers! I am a bit fussy about burgers and normally make them from scratch and just love these as a a mess free, quick alternative. They're also less greasy than normal burgers nice to know you're doing your healthy bit too! Apologies,, I forgot to take a photo as the kids got their greasy mits on them down before I got chance to take the picture! Which I guess means I'll have to go out and buy them again :)

  • Quick tasty & great for the kids

    We loved the yummy burgers & rissoles.

    The burger flavour has a little spice to it but not too much that my 3 year old couldn’t eat & love.

    The rissoles were another great hit, I love that there quick to cook taste delicious & are lean.

    Thy will definitely be on our shopping list, thanks Inghams!

  • Never used before but love it!

    So I have never eaten or cooked turkey unless it is Christmas Day, but I read a recipe on this website that used it - so I thought I'd give it a try! And oh my goodness it is delicious and I heard healthier than other minced meat. Really glad we tried it and can now use another type of meat to give a different flavour to meals instead of the same old.

  • Great for low fat burgers

    The burgers were super moist as were the rissoles when cooked. It really didn’t feel like you were having anything that was low fat. I usually make burgers on a multigrain roll and include avocado with it. I then add mayo or BBQ sauce. Sometimes I will add a spice rub on the burgers.

  • Ingham’s Summer Turkey Range is 100% Delicious

    I love the Ingham’s Summer Turkey Range - the rissoles are moist and juicy, full of flavour as are the burgers! I am not usually a sausage eater, but after trying the Turkey sausages I have become a convert!

    Always on the look out for healthier dinner options and the extra lean turkey burgers hit the spot. Great tasting and made a yummy burger for dinner. Decent ingredients list which helped and not too many calories.

  • Ingham is IN for my summer kitchen

    I just got an inghams pack and I like the turkey for a change. It wasn’t greasy. Was light to eat. And very convenient to cook as already made into rissoles and patti’s. I do like to make my own but sometimes I am time poor and this was a quality pack. 100% Aussie turkey got to love that. We did. And it’s not even summer. Some bigger packs would be nice too.

    The Ingham’s Summer Turkey range makes it easy and affordable to introduce more lean protein into a diet. The mince was fantastic when I was completing 30 days of Whole30.

    I love the summer range of turkey inghams has brought out. The sausages and pattie are full of lean Turkey meat and flavours. They have been seasoned just right and when you throw them on the bbq the patties hold their shape and the sausages cook great. Im really happy turkey is becoming a lot more accessible these days. Its such a great protein without all the extra fats and preservatives other meats have.

Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.

What if I’m overreacting?
What if I’ve got it wrong?

So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.

It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.

Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.

Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise

According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.

“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.

Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital

While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.

So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.

“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.

Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone

A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.

You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.

Leticia gets it.

“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”

But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.

Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.

“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”

Remember, we know our children better than anyone.

What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process

If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.

Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
  2. Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
  3. Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.

You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.

What should you actually look out for?

Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.

Things like:

  • Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
  • Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
  • Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
  • Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
  • Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
  • Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse

And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.

That’s enough.

“You are helping us, not bothering us”

If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.

“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.

“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”

The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.

“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”

And if you’re still worried about being judged?

“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”

  • Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
    So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.

  • This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.

  • It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.

  • How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!

    Reply

  • This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.

    Reply

  • This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.

  • I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
