Thanksgiving Turkeys - Cute Thanksgiving Treat

Yummy sweet Thanksgiving Turkeys. Make in no time.

Growing up, creating these cute Thanksgiving Turkeys was a tradition. My sister and I looked forward to it every year. They have traveled to each Thanksgiving location, no matter who is hosting. The overall design has stayed consistent. The body of the turkey has changed a few times, all depending on who makes them. They are easy to assemble, tasty, and adorable. Your guest will be in awe and your children will love making them.

Gobble! Gobble! - Thanksgiving Turkey Treat for your Thanksgiving Celebration

Equipment

• Butter knife or

• Frosting spatula

• Toothpicks - use sturdy toothpicks (not a cheap or knock off brand) otherwise toothpicks will break when trying to insert to the body or gummy worm

• Kitchen scissors or sharp knife

Tips or Tricks

• Follow the order of assembling listed in the instructions.

• My mom, sister, and I have perfected the best way to assemble over the years making this easy peasy without hassle.

• For example - assemble the gobbler first, then attach it to the body prior to adding anything else. Trying to assemble the gobbler very last will give you a headache and most likely cause other pieces to break or fall off.

Length of Time

• Prep Time - 10 minutes

• Cook time - 30 - 60 minutes

Servings

• Serving Size: 1 turkey

Ingredients

• 12 fudge stripe cookies

• 24 candy corns

• ½ cup butter cream frosting

Directions

1. Assemble the turkey gobblers

   1. Bend down the gummy worm head down 1/3 of the way. Stick a toothpick through the back side through the longest portion into the bottom of the head (so it looks like a gobbler.)

2. Assemble gobbler to the body

   1. Stick the gummy toothpick through the top of the body (cordial cherry, truffle, or peanut butter cup.)

3. Assemble the body to the feathers

   1. Add roughly 1/8 tsp frosting to the back of the body (cordial cherry, truffle, or peanut butter cup.) Arrange cookie stripes vertically. Attach the body towards the bottom edge of the cookie.

   1. At the bottom of the body add roughly ¼ teaspoon frosting. Attached 2 candy-corns, big portion towards the front.

5. Let frosting harden. Ready to serve or transport.
