Step by Step Guide

1. Place half of an apple (or pear) near the bottom center of your board. This will be your turkey’s body. Below it, add two pecan halves to create the turkey’s feet.

2. Fan out your favorite crackers above the turkey body, forming a rainbow shape. This will serve as the base layer for your turkey feathers.

3. Layer slices of salami halfway over the crackers, using different flavors to create visual interest. This adds both flavor and texture to your board.

4. Place your cubed cheeses on one layer and the sliced cheeses on another. The variety of cheese will give your snack board a delicious mix of flavors.

5. Place the prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella towards the top of the board for a touch of elegance and extra flavor.

6. Surround the turkey body with whole almonds to mimic turkey feathers. It’s a fun and crunchy addition to your board!

7. Fill in any gaps with more crackers, cheese, olives, and nuts to ensure your board is balanced and full..

8. If you’re giving your turkey eyes, now’s the time to add them! Candy eyeballs add a whimsical touch, and a little dab of melted white chocolate can help keep them in place.

Tips:

Experiment with flavors: Try different types of salami, cheese, and crackers to create unique combinations.
Add color: Include fresh fruit or vegetables like grapes, berries, or sliced carrots for a colorful touch.
Get creative: Use your imagination to decorate the board with additional festive elements like edible glitter or small flags.
