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
- 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)
