It started with 16 flavors, but only one would be named the winner. After four weeks and over 20,000 of your votes, the winner of the first annual Turkey Hill Ultimate Flavor Tournament is…Vanilla Bean! In the final round of the tournament, Vanilla Bean narrowly beat Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup by a 52 percent to 48 percent margin (257 votes to 238 votes) to take the title.
We really couldn’t have asked for a closer final match-up. The race went back and forth all week, with Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup actually leading by just a few votes as late as Friday afternoon. But in the end, it was the ever versatile Vanilla Bean taking home the win. A big congratulations goes out to Vanilla Bean and all of its fans. As for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, don’t worry. It’ll return next year to make another run for the title.
Speaking of next year, the Ultimate Flavor Tournament will be back, but since it can only feature 16 flavors, we need your help to decide which ones should be included in the Sweet 16 next March. On the right is a series of polls featuring all of the Turkey Hill flavors that weren’t included in this year’s tournament line-up. If there’s any that you’d like to see in next year’s games, now’s your chance to sound off.
Also, as promised, today we’ll be choosing one comment at random from the past four weeks to receive a year’s supply of Turkey Hill ice cream. Ten others will also be chosen to receive a one month supply. We’ll let you know who the winners are as soon as we can. Good luck!

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
my little dogs ,well there are not little ,but when I say or spell Turkey Hill ,they know they will get a dish of vanilla bean , too .that”s there flavor,says Max AND Jackson ;;;;;
I knew it….funny though how know one really eats it alone. It’s either a la moded, floated, drizzled or
glammed up with cookie pieces, sprinkles, etc. It’s a classic.
Now it’s time to turn my attention to next year’s tourney…go coconut creme pie! You’ve got to try it, it’s to die for. I saw the chocolate cocnut duetto on a quick non-ice cream buying trip to the market during Lent, but haven’t seen it since. Am looking forward to trying that out!
Hey, how about an ice cream Olympics?? And August is the perfect time to have to try out all the flavors in the competitions! Just a thought!
My hat is off to Vanilla Bean! My absolute favorite. I eat it plain…I eat it dressed up…I eat it anyway I can. I love trying all the flavors but I keep coming back to Vanilla Bean.
Well, Vanilla is the base for any creation! So it only makes sense. But next year will be different not basic.
turkey hill vanilla bean ia most likeable ,you can add any topping for any one in the family
Both vanilla and chocolate peanut butter cup are too plain for me. I really enjoy more complex ice creams like Gertrude Hawk Box of Chocolates.
my puppies only eat; # 1 Turkey Hill Ice Cream;; they are special guys; just picky for good ice cream
I love Turkey Hill Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream! There is no other ice cream on the market that comes close to it in taste. My local store did not have it and I went 15 miles to another store just to get it. I will make the trip everytime to get it as it is worth it! Keep making Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream!!!
