This turkey is the colorful star of the Thanksgiving dinner, and he’s all about vegetables.
Pick your favorite dip to serve with the vegetables, such as dill vegetable dip, ranch dressing, avocado lime ranch dip, or chipotle ranch dip.
To make the turkey face, cut off the bottom of a red pepper. Make the beak by using a baby carrot and add a strip of yellow pepper and candy eyeballs. Place it in the dip bowl.
These are the vegetables used in this platter: sliced cucumbers, baby carrots, broccoli, snap peas, and sliced red and yellow peppers. Other vegetables that could be used are asparagus, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and celery sticks. Cheese could replace the yellow peppers to make it more of an appetizer plate.
Layer the sliced cucumbers first in a half circle around the platter. Use two rows near the top. Then layer the carrots, peppers, and broccoli pieces in smaller half circles. Add the bowl with the dip and the turkey face.
The platter can be made in advance, covered with plastic wrap, and stored in the refrigerator. Also, the vegetables can be prepped in advance and stored in plastic bags until assembly time.
Enjoy!
