Turkey Crafts

By Joelene

Add a little whimsy to your Thanksgiving celebration with these turkey-shaped appetizers and snacks from The Kitchen.

Ingredients

• Turkey Crudite Platter
• Turkey Cheeseball
• ks well. Use whole cloves for the eyes.

Preparation

Step 1

Turkey Snack Bag
Fill the fingers of a clear plastic glove with colored cheese crackers, putting a different color in each finger. Fill the hand and thumb portion of the glove with plain popcorn. Tie the bottom of the glove at the wrist with ribbon. Draw on a face with black and red markers.

Fruit Kabob Turkey
To make the turkey's body, use a honeydew melon (a cantaloupe works too). Add the face using an upside-down pear that's been trimmed so it's slightly flat. For eyes, use 2 mini marshmallows and dried blueberries or raisins (use a toothpick to attach). Use a piece of Cheddar cheese for the nose and a slice of strawberry for the wattle. Then skewer cut-up fruit on wooden skewers just like you would for a kabob, making feathers.
