Make this adorable Thanksgiving turkey from your kitchen!
The body is a spaghetti squash
and the head is a pear.
Make the face with a piece of squash for a beak, raisins for eyes and bell pepper for the waddle.
Cut red bell pepper feet. Use cheese cubes and seedless grapes to make tail feathers, and fill in the gaps with pepper slices. Gobble, gobble!
Items needed:
1 Bosc pear (for the head)
1 spaghetti squash (body and beak)
Cheese cubes (tail feathers)
Red bell pepper (waddle, feet and feathers)
Green and yellow bell pepper (feathers)
Raisins (eyes)
Seedless grapes (tail feathers)
Bamboo Skewers
Toothpicks
Prep time: 30 minutes
Directions:
Cut a thin slice from the bottom of the squash so that it doesn’t roll. Using a section of bamboo skewer, attach a pear head to the squash body, as shown. Attach a squash triangle beak, raisin eyes and red bell pepper waddle to the head, with sections of toothpicks. Cut red pepper feet and set them in place. Make feathers by skewering cheese cubes and seedless grapes. Insert the skewers near the back of the turkey’s body. Cut side feathers from bell peppers and pin into place with toothpicks.
