Ingredients
- Assorted sliced salami (Columbus Salami Trio, 12 ounce tray)
- Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella sticks, sliced into thirds (Artisan Wraps, 7 count)
- Assorted cheese slices (Bella Rosa Crafter’s Choice sliced cheese variety, 16 ounce tray)
- 8 ounce block Colby and Monterey Jack, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 8 ounce block Pepper jack, cut into ½-inch cubes
- Assorted round crackers (Toasted Variety Pack, 12 ounce box)
- Square crackers (Great Value Everything Seasoned Crackers, 7 ounce box)
- 7 ounce jar stuffed manzanilla olives
- 1 apple, cut in half, for the turkey body
- ½ cup whole almonds, for the turkey feathers
- 2 piece pecan halves, for the turkey feet
- 2 candy eyeballs, for the turkey eyes (optional)
- Red and black grapes, for serving on the side or on the board if you have more room
Instructions
- 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.
- Fan out your favorite crackers above the turkey body, forming a rainbow shape. This will serve as the base layer for your turkey feathers.
- Layer slices of salami halfway over the crackers, using different flavors to create visual interest. This adds both flavor and texture to your board.
- 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.
- Place the prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella towards the top of the board for a touch of elegance and extra flavor.
- Surround the turkey body with whole almonds to mimic turkey feathers. It’s a fun and crunchy addition to your board!
- Fill in any gaps with more crackers, cheese, olives, and nuts to ensure your board is balanced and full.
- If you're giving your turkey eyes, add them! You can use candy eyeballs with a little dab of melted white chocolate to help keep them in place.
