Turkey Cheeseball Charcuterie Idea For Thanksgiving
Create an edible turkey out of a cheeseball (perfect for Thanksgiving!)
Servings: 1 cheeseball
Cost: $6
Ingredients
- 1 nut-covered cheeseball
- 1 pretzel rod
- 1 candy corn
- 2 candy eyes
- 3 Town House crackers (or other cracker)
- baby carrots sliced
- royal icing or icing tube
Instructions
- Take a pretzel rod and break about 1/3 of the pretzel off of the length. With the remaining pretzel rod, use your icing to glue on two eyes at the top and a candy corn underneath it to be the beak. Allow the icing to set.
- Insert 3-5 crackers into the back of the cheeseball to be big turkey tail feathers.
- Slice baby carrots into thin strips and stick them in front of the crackers to be the next row of feathers.
- When dry, insert your turkey neck into the front of the turkey to complete the look. Serve immediately either by itself or as part of a charcuterie board or refrigerate.
Notes
Some icings take a little longer to set, so be sure to lay your pretzel rod on the table to add the eyes and beak. You may need to hold them for about a minute for them to stick.
