Turkey Hill All Natural Cookie Dough Ice Cream


[New for 2020] That bad news is that I have two tubs of all natural Turkey Hill ice cream that need to go back to price chopper because they let them melt and go bad. The good news is that I found a replacement for their spot in the freezer.

The description sounds like their regular cookie dough flavor, hopefully it will bring back the awesomeness that their regular cookie dough once had (sorry, the regular version isn't the same greatness that is was 20 years ago).

I take my first bite and it's not amazing, but I am definitely interested to take another. I take a few more bites and wonder why it has a salty taste to it. I was hoping for more of a sweet brown sugar vibe but this is more of a salty butter brickle vibe (is that even the right term there?).

....actually, it kind of reminds me of when they tried to make popcorn flavored ice cream. It's that kind of strange, weird, salty buttery flavoring kind of. Now that said, I just went back for a quick refill of my cup, so it's not as bad as it sounds.

So, I'm here with an empty cup (again) and I'm a bit torn I guess. I appreciate the new flavor choice, but I'm not sure why they dialed it in like they did. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

On Second Scoop: I'm still not in love with this one, yet I keep scooping it anyway.... how about this, I will buy this one at least one more time to see if maybe I got an off container. Maybe the next one won't have that pop of salty pretzel-y bite to it (yes, I know there are no pretzels, but this flavor reminds me of them anyway).

The Final Scoops: both of my last servings had distinctly more cookie dough in them and that fact definitely helped cut in to that weird pop I was getting from the base. I know I will try this one at least one more time, if only for a change of pace from my regular picks (vanilla, vanilla & chocolate, chocolate chocolate chip, and blackberry swirl).

Verdict?  kind of odd
Buy Again?  at least once

  1. This sounds great to me! I've recently discovered how improved ice cream can become with a little sprinkle of salt.

  2. Turns out investment company just bought Turkey Hill and quality is way down. Same problem with Breyers, all vanilla, no dough or chips. Breyers commented back to me and weight machine must be off. 2 companies off my list.

    1) the quality of their regular product has been going down for years, that's why I only eat their all natural stuff

    2) I looked up the sale of Turkey Hill, little disappointed that I missed this news from almost two years ago

  4. Got the 'All Natural" version at Kroger the other night. Did not care for it. I will go back to their regular Cookies and Cream. Its better IMO.

  5. I did a blind taste testing with my family with portions of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough made by: Turkey Hill All Natural, Breyers, Hagen Daz, and Ben & Jerry's. The 4 of us unnanimously picked the Turkey Hill by a long shot. This was by far my favorite ice cream! Unfortunately, they stopped stocking it in our area (or it's discontinued) Every time I go to our grocery store I still look for it!

    1. Hey Michael, they stopped stocking it mine too last year but I complained and now they get a few just for me every month. :)

      But good luck trying to convince double bubba booby bubba or whatever the guy calls himself who runs this site that anything from Turkey Hill is good lol. He hates TURKEY HILL.

      This is the best of the major brands cookie dough out there right now. The rest don't even come close.

    2. Dear Anon, are you the same anon that complained about me hating Turkey Hill before? You obviously haven't been a reader of this blog very long.

      Also, all natural cookie dough is no longer listed on the website
