Apart from the sugar, which can raise mood in many individuals, ice cream also contains (I think) phenylethylamine, just like chocolate which is well known to increase mood. Phenylethylamine(s) are said to replicate that 'falling in love' feeling.

By the way, chicken & turkey wont raise brain levels of tryptophan by themselves as they contain far too many other protiens/amino acids for competition to cross the blood-brain barrier. To raise brain levels of tryptophan NATURALLY you need a low-ish protien - high carbohydrate diet, preferably complex carbs to avoid blood glucose drops (which can cause mood swings).
