Ingredients

  • 2 red bell pepper
  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • candy eye balls
  • 1 crown broccoli
  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 2 cucumbers
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • dip

Instructions

Face

  • Cut the bottom off of a red bell pepper. Make the beak by using a baby carrot, a piece of yellow pepper under the beak for the wattle (over the beak for a snood), and candy eyeballs!

Body

  • Gather and prep your veggies. We like to wash and cut to sizes that are easy to grab.
  • Layer the sliced cucumbers first in a half circle around the platter. Then layer the carrots, yellow and red peppers, and broccoli pieces in smaller half circles. End with the snap peas at the bottom.
  • Add the bowl of your favorite dip. Place the pepper turkey face in the dip bowl.

Notes

Need a larger serving? When I serve this tray I have found that is enough for 16 people to nibble on. If you are serving a larger crowd, you can either prepare a second tray or have extra produce that you can use to replenish what gets eaten.
Prepare ahead of time. You can wash, dry, and chop the different ingredients 2 days ahead of time and keep them stored in separate containers in the fridge. You can then assemble the turkey platter up to 24 hours in advance, and keep it covered and in the fridge until serving it.
