Turkey dinner in a tart raises funds for Union Gospel Mission

Time is running short on turkey dinner preparations. If you'd like a taste of the feast without all the work, there's another option: turkey dinner in a tart.

South Granville's Tarts Bakery (1509 West Broadway) is offering a savoury tart that incorporates many elements of Christmas dinner. The all-butter pastry crust has a turkey pot-pie filling that's topped with stuffing and cranberry sauce. All the components are made from the family recipes of owners Lisa and Shawna Coan.

The five-inch tarts sell for $5.95 each—the same price as other savoury tarts at the bakery—but $1 of the sale of each will be donated to Union Gospel Mission to support that charity's turkey dinners.

Turkey dinner tarts are available until December 24; call in an order at 604-737-8278 to be sure they're waiting.
