Ingredients
  

For the Veggie Tray
  • 1 handful radishes sliced
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes for the turkey body
  • 1 cup broccoli florets for the turkey body
  • 1/2 cup black olives for the turkey body
  • 1 cup sliced carrots for turkey feathers and feet
  • 1 cup sliced celery for turkey feathers
  • 1/2 cup pickles for turkey feathers and head
  • 1/2 cup celery greens for turkey tail

Equipment

  • Serving platter

Method
 

  1. Place a handful of sliced radishes in the center of your serving platter to form the base of the turkey's body.
  2. Arrange the grape tomatoes behind the radishes. Tuck broccoli florets underneath the tomatoes to add dimension.
  3. Place black olives along the bottom edge of the tomato, broccoli, and radish arrangement to define the turkey's body.
  4. Use the sliced carrots, celery sticks, and pickles to create the turkey's feathers by arranging them on top of the body.
  5. Attach the celery greens to the back of the arrangement to form the turkey's tail.
  6. Cut pieces from a carrot stick and place them at the bottom of the body to create the turkey's feet.
  7. To make the head, use a small piece of carrot and a thin slice of pickle. Add a tiny sliver of black olive for the eye.
  8. Cut a small piece from the white part of a radish and use it to create the turkey's beak.
