Turkey Jell-O Mold Competition

[SoVerySoft]

Definitely worth checking out.

Here's a link to 2009.

Some history - In 2005 they wrote:

Mold purchased from Yankee Harvest — it's actually taken from a cornish game hen, but then again a true turkey-sized Jell-O® mold would be a bit overwhelming. They include a recipe for realistic flesh-tone, which involves adding lite evaporated skimmed milk (for opacity) and a dash of green food coloring to peach or watermelon flavored Jell-O®. It essentially tastes like regular Jell-O®, but the milk adds nice body, as it turns out.

The bed of pomegranate seeds is my own innovation. Makes for a festive holiday garnish.

Bubby's Matzoh Turkey: In this stunning mis-en-matzoh-ball-soup, we are brought back to the original site of sustenance: the womb. Floating, trussed, lulled in a warm bath of chicken broth, we experience the original state of undifferentiated oneness, of satiety. Grand Prize Winner [by popular election] for "Best Overall Turkey" 2008.
