First blogger cooking event in the poultry industry

When it comes to Thanksgiving in North America, one food clearly plays the leading role - turkey. A festive Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family in the USA and Canada is hardly imaginable without the traditional "Thanksgiving Turkey" from the oven. "This beautiful tradition, this enjoyable celebration of turkeys at Thanksgiving - we want to bring that to Germany," says Thomas Storck, Chairman of the Association of German Turkey Producers e. V. (VDP) and Vice President of the Central Association of the German Poultry Industry e. V. (ZDG). That's why the industry has invited to the first "Blogger Cooking Event" in the German poultry industry to coincide with the Thanksgiving festival: under the motto "Turkey & Thanksgiving", food bloggers and representatives of the turkey industry, together with the professional chefs from "Hensslers Küche" in Hamburg, have autumnal-festive turkey dishes in prepared according to the North American Thanksgiving tradition and enjoyed in a cozy atmosphere. And we had great conversations about turkey, got exciting tips and tricks about the versatile food turkey meat and collected new inspiration for our own culinary creations with turkey breast, turkey leg and co.

Film shows impressions of the event: "I'll definitely cook something again..."

A three-minute film shows how much fun the participants of the "Pute & Thanksgiving" event had in cooking and enjoying together welove.deutsches-gefluegel.de with impressions from the cooking studio, which also allows the participating bloggers and representatives of the turkey industry to have their say. "We want people to know what they are eating," says Christopher Kalvelage from the ranks of the German turkey industry, describing the producers' interest in exchanging information with consumers. "Thanksgiving is a nice occasion to draw attention to turkeys in Germany, too," says his industry colleague Carola Hartmann. Food blogger Patrick Krüger is also very open to customs from other countries: "You can always create dishes that come from another country - I'm very much in favor of that." His blogger colleague Yvonne Erfurth agrees, but thinks a little further: "Of course, it would be best if we made it a real holiday, really officially - stay at home and take time for the family!"

Festive turkey dishes in Thanksgiving tradition: "Incredibly delicious!"

Whether the turkey breast on pumpkin cream with cranberry relish and fried sweet potato chips as a starter, the "Thanksgiving Burger" with the trend food pulled turkey or the more classic roast turkey leg with chestnut bread filling - the verdict of the participants on the jointly prepared dishes was unanimous: "Incredibly delicious !" says food blogger Nina Schüttforth enthusiastically. Yvonne Erfurth also says: "I've never been a turkey fan, but everything was delicious - and I'll definitely cook something again."
