Fruit Turkey

Overview

This Fruit turkey can be made as a center piece for thanksgiving . The good thing about this is all the fruits are whole and nothing gets wasted.



Things you would need to make this
Cantaloupe - 1
Pear - 1
Red pepper - one
Green grapes -  20 - 30
Cranberries - 10 - 20
Tooth picks
Wooden skewers

Cut the red pepper for feet and wings as in the picture. Save one piece for turkey nose. Put the cantaloupe length wise on a cake stand or a flat dish. If it does not stand straight cut a piece from bottom to make it stand. Arrange 3 strips of red  pepper piece on each side at the bottom of the cantaloupe on the plate for the feet of the turkey. Take the pear and with the help of 3 tooth picks pierce it through the cantaloupe for the face of the turkey. Press in two eyes with cranberries and tooth pick pieces. Use a small tooth pick piece and fix the red pepper strip as nose. For the hands take the two strips of red pepper and fix it on a tooth pick and stick it to the side - two on each side for wings. In the wooden skewers pass through grapes and cranberries alternatively as shown in the picture. Pierce these  7 skewers as back tail of the turkey.
