Ingredients:

• Bosc Pear (head)
• Melon (body)
• Cheese (beak & tail feathers)
• Red pepper (snood,feet,side feathers)
• Raisins (eyes)
• Grapes (tail feathers)
• Bamboo skewers
• Toothpicks

Instructions:
1. Cut off a shallow slice of the rind of the melon to create a flat base for more stability. Using a bamboo skewer attach a Bosc pear to the front of the melon to create the turkey head. (Trim skewer if needed)
2) Cut cheese into a triangle for the beak and add a small piece of red pepper for the snood. Use toothpicks to attach these as well as the raisins for the eyes.
3) Cut red pepper as shown to create feet and place them as shown.
4) Cut cheese into cubes and use cheese and grapes alternately on skewers as shown and then place into the melon to create tail feathers.
5) Slice peppers to create side feathers and use toothpicks to attach to the sides of the melon.
Be creative! You can use other things on the tail feathers like pineapple, ham cubes, turkey cubes or whatever your family enjoys.
