Turkey Veggie Tray
Ingredients
Vegetables for the "feathers":
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 1 cup celery sticks
- 1 cup cucumber slices
- 1 cup bell pepper strips red, yellow, and orange
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
For the turkey's "body":
- 1 small round bowl of hummus ranch dip, or guacamole
- 1 whole pear or small round bread roll for a non-veggie option
For decoration:
- 2 candy eyes or small slices of olives
- 1 slice of red bell pepper for the wattle
- 1 slice of yellow bell pepper or cheese for the beak
Instructions
Assemble the feathers:
- Arrange the carrots, celery, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, and cherry tomatoes in rows around the edge of a large platter to resemble turkey feathers. Start with larger pieces (like celery) on the outer edges and smaller ones (like tomatoes) closer to the center.
Create the body:
- Place the bowl of dip at the bottom center of the platter to act as the turkey's body.
- Position the pear (or bread roll) above the dip as the turkey’s head.
Decorate the turkey’s face:
- Attach candy eyes or olive slices to the pear using a small dab of hummus or dip as glue.
- Add the red bell pepper slice below the "beak" for the wattle.
Serve:
- Pair the veggie tray with your dip of choice for a fun and festive Thanksgiving appetizer!
