Turkey, turkey everywhere and way too much to eat...


Is this your annual dilemma? Well, we challenge you to put on your chef hats and come up with a creative turkey casserole dish to turn the standard Thanksgiving leftover into something delicious. Or maybe you already have a favorite leftover turkey casserole recipe. This year, the Camellia City Market is holding its first ever Turkey Day Leftover Casserole Contest.

Interested? Well, here is the what you need to know. Participants are asked to create a casserole recipe to use up their anticipated leftovers from Thanksgiving with turkey as the anchor of the dish. Recipes should then be submitted by email to Danny Blackburn, our Market Coordinator, at ccmdirector@yahoo.com no later than 3pm on November 22 (the Monday BEFORE Thanksgiving). Or recipes can be hand delivered to Danny Blackburn at the Camellia City Market on Saturday, November 20.

Eight finalists will be selected by a group of celebrity chefs and notified by email on November 23. On Saturday, November 27th (the Saturday following Thanksgiving), the eight finalists will deliver their potential winning dish, ready to eat, by 11am to the Camellia City Market for tasting and judging. Samples will also be given away to market-goers.

We think that we have the most creative market-goers around and we can't wait to taste all of your delicious culinary treats. After all, we are going to have leftovers, too, but we're not nearly as creative as you!
