When you think of Thanksgiving turkey, you probably envision a magazine-worthy, browned-to-perfection bird, stuffed and resting on a platter at the center of your dinner table. But who says turkey can’t break the mold? Consider sweet treats that are as cute as they are tasty. They fit the theme of the holiday without taking themselves too seriously, and they appeal across all age divisions. Get the kids to help you create these Turkey Day sweets that might just upstage your main dish.
Turkey Treats They’ll Love to Eat
- Turkey Cookies – Candy corn isn’t just for Halloween. These fun and endearing sugar cookies are adorned with candy corn “feathers” and orange icing accents. They’ll get their share of oohs, aahs, and awws when you plate them up and add them to a table full of standard pies. And bonus: You can make these with homemade or store-bought cookies, if you’re short on time or tired of cooking.
- Oreo Cookie Turkeys – These candy-laden turkeys feature bodies made from chocolate sandwich cookies and mini peanut butter cups, heads of malted milk balls, and (again) tail feathers of candy corn. The result? The sweetest turkey you’ve ever tasted!
- Wide-Eyed Turkey Cupcakes – Whimsical chocolate-frosted cupcakes get candy embellishments to create fun and funny turkeys you’ll love to eat. The filling side of two Oreo cookies form the namesake “eyes,” and candy corn yet again stands in for tail feathers. Finish the job with brown M&M’s and red licorice accents.
- Turkey Fruit Tray – If you’re looking for something a little lighter and more refreshing, this colorful and quirky edible display takes the cake. Cut a pear in half for the turkey’s body and arrange halved strawberries, banana chunks, and grapes in a semicircle around its “head” for a grand feathered tail. Tiny cheddar cheese legs and a base of pretzels complete the scene. Want to add some decadence? This spread is just begging for melted chocolate for dipping.
