Bernard Matthews launches new site

UK families are being encouraged to make turkey the meat of choice in their kitchens with the launch of the new campaign, led online, called  ‘Change Your Meat Not Your Menu’ created by Blow Creative.

Change Your Meat Not Your Menu aims to inspire cooks and in particular Mums to swap to turkey in their weekly meal planner.

Celebrity chef, Marco Pierre White will front the campaign alongside Olympic gold medallist, Rebecca Romero and nutritionist, Dr Carrie Ruxton. Collectively known as the “Talking Turkey Taskforce”, the trio today launched www.ChangeYourMeatNotYourMenu.co.uk.

Supported by turkey company, Bernard Matthews Farms, the site shows users just how simple it is to swap to turkey with cooking tips, recipe suggestions, nutritional information and active lifestyle hints. An interactive “sat-fat calculator” can help families calculate how much they can reduce the saturated fat in their diet just by swapping their usual meat for turkey, once or twice a week.

Marco explains why he is encouraging the nation to eat more turkey stating,
“Turkey is the nation’s favourite roast on the most important family day of the year, so why not all year round? Turkey has more flavour, more texture than chicken, but for many the only association with turkey is Christmas or Easter, which is down to tradition and nostalgia.”
