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.
