Turkey Tuckers a Sweet Sensation
Snowbird foods has developed its first ever product utilising turkey. Turkey Tuckers are frozen, fully cooked meat balls with a Moroccan flavour profile. Fruit has been added for sweetness and chilli for heat.
Following Moorish tradition, Turkey Tuckers are flavoured with mint, chilli, cumin, fresh and ground coriander, salt, onions, garlic, figs and apricots. The fruit delivers sweetness that renders ketchup superfluous.
The products are fully cooked in the factory in a combination oven which steams and roasts the balls. They are then flash fried to enhance visual appeal and packed IQF in three kilo bags. Turkey Tuckers can be heated from frozen in seconds in a microwave and they will also oven bake.
An adult portion of up to five balls delivers plate appeal when served with cous cous, pasta, long grain rice or potatoes and a green salad.
Turkey Tuckers are seen as an attractive school meals option, with two 20g balls being sufficient for primary school children.
“We have presented the product to two group buyers and both immediately short-listed them for future menus because they are so different,” said Snowbird sales director Roy Anderson.
“There is nothing like them on the market at the moment so they are deservedly attracting a lot of attention and the choice of turkey products available for caterers is at its lowest for many years,” he added.
