What You Should Know

Turkey Hill Ice Cream & Sherbet, Original Recipe Orange Cream Swirl arrives on supermarket shelves as a large, resealable 46 fl oz tub displayed in the frozen desserts aisle alongside other family-size ice creams, sherbets, and novelty frozen treats. You’ll often find it near more mainstream brands, pint-sized novelties, and frozen topping stations. It’s the kind of item shoppers toss into carts during weekly grocery runs, summer barbecue shopping, movie-night restocks, or when planning a kid-friendly dessert for weekend gatherings. The brand projects a homey, value-oriented image—Turkey Hill is a classic American supermarket name associated with family traditions and approachable flavors—targeting parents, families with children, and shoppers seeking a nostalgic, affordable treat. The label plays up an “Original Recipe” story and lists orange juice concentrate and milk early in the ingredient list, which can create a mild natural-food halo, but it also includes “natural and artificial flavors,” artificial color (Yellow 6), and many stabilizers and sweeteners; there is no organic certification. In plain terms, this product is a highly processed frozen dessert made to deliver consistent texture and flavor: a rich, creamy vanilla-ice-cream base ribboned with bright, tangy orange sherbet swirl. Texturally it’s smooth and scoopable with a slightly icier sherbet ripple; the tub invites the ritual of scooping into bowls for kids’ birthday parties or family movie night. Nutritionally it’s an indulgent sweet treat (about 150 calories and 20 g sugar per serving listed on the label) best enjoyed as an occasional dessert rather than a daily staple.

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? This treat has 150 calories per serving, which isn’t too wild, but it does pack a punch with 20 grams of sugar—so it’s definitely more of an indulgence than a health food. If you’re looking for a sweet treat to enjoy occasionally, this could fit the bill, but it’s not exactly a power snack!
