Spot the Turkey

Do you ever look at award-winning foods when you go shopping and think – what makes that one special? Well now’s your chance to spot a turkey winner.

The British turkey industry is offering a member of the public a place on the judging panel of its prestigious annual British Turkey Awards. Liking turkey is the only essential requirement – along with the other judges, you will have to poke, prod, and taste more than 100 different dishes before selecting the winners of each of the 12 categories!

Last year’s winner, Karon Sewell, pictured, said, “It was an amazing experience. I never knew so many turkey products existed!”

There is good reward for all the hard work, though. The person selected to the judging panel will enjoy a glittering night out as a guest of honour at the awards ceremony in Claridge’s Ballroom.
