Chickens typically do not get a plastic bag inside, they just get the bulk organs and if your lucky the neck.
Turkeys often do have the neck and a bag of organs.
Yes by accident I have cooked it with the bag in it. I removed the neck, could not locate the bag and felt very cheated. I use that stuff. Anyways turkey gets done and I notice a bag of steamed organs inside of it. Guess it was frozen/still stuck to the very top of the cavity. PS - those organs were pretty useless by then.
Would never do it on purpose with a turkey. I do know that the inside of the bird does not get hot enough to melt the plastic or even cause fumes to be released. I often add plastic wrap to casserole dishes underneath a layer of foil when baking something.
