Jess and Neve’s turkey treat

St Albans Park’s Jess Gysen was thrilled to be one of the Indy’s four Talkin Turkey winners this week.

“I don’t ever win things, so that’s awesome,” the 28-year-old said.

Two-year-old daughter Neve helped Jess track down the four turkey icons hiding in the ads of last week’s paper.

The win of a tasty whole turkey, just in time for Christmas, came as builders prepare to start construction on the pair’s new home after the leukaemia death of Jess’s husband.

“So it will be good not to have find money to buy a (turkey),” she said.

“I’ll just have to figure out how to cook it.”

Jess was looking forward to arriving with her delicious turkey when she visited cousins in Melbourne on Christmas day.

“I just like getting together with all the family, eating food and not having to worry about anything else,” she said.

Fellow week-two turkey winner Anne Bartlett said she would donate her turkey for Christ Church Geelong’s Christmas meal for the homeless.

“I’m going away for Christmas, so I reckon they’ll love it,” Anne said.

The three-week competition’s last four turkeys are up for grabs this week.

Entries are open online at geelongindy.com.au/competitions. Entries can also be submitted at the Indy’s office on level one, 78 Moorabool St, Geelong.

Entrants must name each of the four advertisers with a turkey.
