If you're feeling nostalgic, you'll be delighted to know that Turkey Twizzlers are making a comeback this week.

They'll be available in two flavours, Original Tangy Tomato and Chilli Cheese. They'll go on sale from Thursday 20th August.

"It is crucial for us that it is a really flavoursome product that people enjoy eating and it complements the high-protein content you normally get in turkey,"
