An easy vegetable platter for kids in the shape of a colorful turkey!
Servings: 10 kids
Cost: $10
Equipment
- Large Round Platter
- Small Shallow Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 25 baby carrots
- 1 bag green leaf lettuce
- 2 mushrooms
- 8 ounces ranch dressing or blue cheese
- 2 mini chocolate morsels for the eyes
Instructions
- Wash and slice the bell peppers long ways and remove the seeds.
- Set a small, shallow bowl in the center, at the bottom of a round platter.
- On the platter, place the lettuce down first. Only place halfway around the platter. It’s okay to overlap the edges of the lettuce over the platter.
- Next, layer red bell peppers over the green lettuce, halfway around the platter.
- Then, place small baby carrots overlapping the red peppers.
- Overlap the yellow bell peppers halfway over the baby carrots.
- Repeat with the yellow and orange peppers.
- Fill the bowl with a dip. We like ranch or blue cheese.
- Slice one mushroom for the feet of the turkey and use one whole mushroom for the head.
- Cut a small slice of red pepper and yellow pepper for the beak and snoods.
- You can get creative for the eyes, but we used two tiny chocolate chip morsels.
