Couple of announcements today. First, it appears as though some of you had some trouble getting to the blog yesterday (the link in the e-mail didn’t work). Sorry about that! The cause has been identified and it won’t happen again! Also, as promised, we’ve chosen one comment at random from ALL the comments left during the Ultimate Flavor Tournament to win our grand prize of a year’s supply of Turkey Hill ice cream. And the winner is…
Bob Kessler Jr. from Olney, MD
Congrats Bob! An e-mail has been sent to you to claim your prize. Some of you may recognize Bob’s name. That’s because he’s one of the Ice Cream Journal’s longest serving and most loyal readers, which is why we were pleasantly surprised when his comment was chosen (again, completely by random!). After much deliberation, we also chose 10 of our favorite comments from the tournament to receive some free Turkey Hill ice cream. The winners of that prize (you also have an e-mail waiting for you in your in-box) are below!
LILLY WROTE:
I opened the trashmasher tonight to find an empty Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup container — couldn’t decide whether to yell at my husband or cry. No contest — cry! My vote is for Choc PNut Butter!!!!!!
.
MELISSA WROTE:
I have loved chocolate peanut butter cup since I was 8 and learned the technique to digging the awesome peanut buttery core out of the half gallon. My mom still yells at me for doing it to this day…so my vote must be for chocolate peanut butter cup.
.
PEGGY WROTE:
OMG THAT SOUNDS DISGUSTING! I eat ice cream (actually frozen yogurt or fat free). I wouldn’t mix any part of my dinner with it or in it. Turkey & sweet potatoes??? UGH! Who comes up with this stuff???? LOL
.
JAYNE BURKE WROTE:
Turkey Hill Sweet 16 time is here
Some of the favorites are out I fear…
My most revered flavor is Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup
I am definitely sure that it will make the cut!!!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup #1
.
ANNETTE SINOSKY WROTE:
My slogan to live by is;
“I never met a Turkey Hill Ice Cream flavor I didn’t like!”
All are deliciously creamy, love every bit of them!
.
CHRISTINE LECLAIRE WROTE:
Egg Nog, Rum Raisin, Choco Mint Chip…..
Which one shall I choose?
With so many to pick from,
How can I lose?
Cookies n’ Cream, Mango Duetto and Coffee
All bring me delight,
But Banana Split, Peanut Butter Ripple, and Black Raspberry
Won’t go without a fight!
Ginger Snap, Gertrude Hawk, and Root Beer Duetto, oh my!
Don’t know if I can just pick one,
But I’ll give it a try…
.
BRIAN WROTE:
Did someone really just say, “It’s too early in the morning to be thinking about ice cream?” That’s downright blasphemous. Phillies Graham Slam is gold this year!
.
ELIZABETH WROTE:
Oh my … if spending all day every day for the next 6 weeks voting would win me ice cream for a year, I may forgo sleeping, showering, eating and otherwise caring for myself just to vote over and over for EXTREME COOKIES AND CREAM! Who is the genius who created this wonder, and just happened to make it as a light recipe?
.
MELANIE WROTE:
I can’t rant and rave enough about Extreme Cookies ‘n’ Creme! It’s so good it almost makes me angry. I love it love it love it! Unfortunately I love it so much that I had to give it up for Lent in order to spend more time with Jesus and less time eating ice cream. But come Easter, I’ll be back!!!
.
KAREN WROTE:
I was in a store with my husband a few weeks ago and two of the clerks were talking about lunch. One of them mentioned ice cream and the other one said “I don’t like ice cream.” I nearly fainted. I can’t get his comment out of my head. How in the world can someone not like ice cream? I literally can’t go a day without it.

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.
I’m a senior citizen and have probably accomplished all of the note worthy things in my life. It’s been a very good life. I have every intention of going back to my maker with a smile on my face from the Turkey Hill Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream I ate just before I took my last breath. I know I’ll meet the original maker of Turkey Hill in Heaven!
Congrats Bob! And if you find that you need to store that ice cream somewhere, I’ve got a brand new freezer that has some extra room!
Congrats to BOB and my other Turkey Hill ice cream buddies. Enjoy your Turkey Hill ice cream, I know I will. Thanks Turkey Hill for making my days sweet.
turkey hill could mix dirt n stones n give it a fancy name n people would eat it, pour on the choco syrup….lol wtg winners
congrats to all!!
Congrats Bob and also to the chosen 10. Free ice cream, you can’t beat that. What is a year’s supply of ice cream anyway? Like anything, if someone is giving it away, you might have a few (or more than a few) more helpings than you would normally.

THANK YOU TURKEY HILL!! Was I surprised to see my name in this issue of the Ice Cream Journal as the winner of the grand prize. A year’s supply of Turkey Hill!! I am certainly going to share this with family and friends. I may even convince some of my friends to switch from their favorite brand of ice cream to Turkey Hill. Thank you again to the Turkey Hill team. And congratulations to the other 10 winners.
Congratulations to the lucky winners of Turkey Hill Ice Cream. I’m sure all those delicious flavors will be enjoyed with great gusto. Hey…..maybe a little “Party Cake” is in order for the celebration. Those pastel colored cake bits, icing and ice cream…..yum!!!
Congratulations to Bob and the other lucky winners.
We are all winners when we have access to Turkey Hill ice cream! Glad for all the winners.
Congratulations to all the winners! Turkey Hill Ice Cream included!!!!
Congratulations to all of the winners. I may not have been a winner this time but in my book Turkey Hill is always a winner.
Can you please resend the email from Th, 4/14, with the S’mores recipe? Since you had a technical problem with the links not opening, I’d have thought you’d already have resent this message…
Congrations to the winners!
My daughter will be thrilled–not surprised–but thrilled. She LOVES Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream.
