Vegetable Turkey on the Round Platter
Recipe Type: appetizer
Cuisine: American
Author: Lena
Prep time: 15 mins
Total time: 15 mins
Two-in-one: a creative appetizer and a great center piece
Ingredients
  • Kale
  • Green peas, celery, and or asparagus
  • Baby carrots
  • Sweet pepper: red, yellow, and orange
  • Cucumber
  • Yellow zucchini
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • and a Big Round platter
Instructions
  1. Start by arranging kale on the edges of the platter for the tales feathers. Work your way into the inside of the platter by adding celery/snow peas/asparagus and baby carrots for the tale coverts. Cut a half of yellow zucchini and slice the back off to make sure it stays in place as a head. Slice sweet pepper and use it as body feathers, cherry tomatoes – as caruncles, and a sliced cucumber – for the breast feathers. Use celery sticks to make turkey feet. Add details – a piece of pepper a beak and a longer one – for the snood, olives – for eyes (we just used more celery)
