TurkeyPalooza is a national Campus Kitchen Project special program that provides clients with a special turkey dinner for the extended holiday break. Campus Kitchen at Minnesota State University, Mankato added a spin to TurkeyPalooza. MSU Departments and Recognized Student Organizations were asked to help sponsor a family during this holiday break. The money raised was used to purchase turkey, stuffing, corn, potatoes, gravy, rolls, and

pies at cost from HyVee North Kitchen. The TurkeyPalooza special program gave all of Campus Kitchen Mankato clients a special turkey dinner and some extra groceries for the extended holiday break.
