Gallery: Turkey inspiration tour

The National Turkey Federation kicked off its multicity turkey inspiration tour with food retailers and other foodservice professionals at the UrbanChef in Houston last week.

“As one of the event speakers, it’s great to watch people’s reactions after they’ve learned about turkey trending on menus and farming practices and then getting into the kitchen to cook up some turkey dishes,” Gerry Ludwig, corporate consulting chef with Gordon Food Service, said in a statement. “You can see lightbulbs going off, and they’re very excited to try cooking new turkey recipes in their own kitchens.”

Additional stops are planned for San Francisco, Boston and Raleigh, N.C.
