Ground turkey turned grayish after cooking in cast iron pan.

[u/Mohzman]

Bought 2 days ago, put in fridge immediately.

Cooked today, let it sit after cooking for 3 hours in an oven (no heat). I know you're not supposed to but I do that all the time.

Came back to reheat it and it turned greyish.

Does anyone know what that color is from?

The reddish/orange color is from seasoning.
