Marco Pierre White is working with Bernard Matthews Farms on a campaign called "Change Your Meat Not Your Menu", to get folks to consider replacing their usual meats with turkey once or twice a week as a cost effective, healthy alternative*.
We're looking for five Mumsnetters to attend a master class cooking experience with Marco and Carrie Ruxton - a nutritionist - on 13th July in the London area (travel expenses paid). Marco will cook a couple of turkey recipes, hopefully from the Mumsnet recipe archive, and this experience will be filmed, edited and shown on Mumsnet as well as elsewhere. There will also be a chance for the selected Mumsnetters to put some of both their own and other mumsnetters' culinary questions to Marco on the day.
Each of the five Mumsnetters who come to meet Marco will also need to try turkey at home - they will be given £10 in vouchers and asked to swap their regular meat for turkey in a couple of meals for two weeks.
In addition we're also looking for 10 Mumsnetters to replace their regular meat with turkey twice a week for a couple of weeks and report back on Mumsnet on how they get on. Each tester will receive £10 in vouchers to buy turkey (it can be any turkey; supermarket's own-label or Bernard Matthews' Farms).
For all 15 Mumsnetters chosen there will be a prize draw - where one lucky winner (either a tester or a cookalong attendee, who tests turkey at home and who adds feedback on Mumsnet about it) will get £200 of Sainsbury's vouchers.

Finally if you've got a great Turkey recipe, particularly one that you would usually cook using another meat, please load it up here and then post the link to that page here. You never know, it may get the Marco treatment.
Thanks and good luck.
