Fall is in full swing, and soon it will be Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays – great food, family, gratitude, and, best of all, no present-buying frenzy! Build up anticipation for Thanksgiving with this fun and healthy lunch!
Turkey
Ingredients:
Turkey sandwich (fresh turkey breast, whole wheat bread, and mayo) / Substitute a peanut butter sandwich if desired!
Baby Carrots
1 cashew
1 raisin
1 cube pineapple
2 celery stalks
Directions:
Slice a turkey sandwich into a pear shape as shown above. Next, arrange baby carrots all around the body to look like tail feathers. You can also slice carrots in half lengthwise to control portion size or to allow them to lay flat on the plate. Slice a raisin in half and place onto sandwich for eyes. Place a cashew beneath the eyes to look like a beak. Slice a pineapple chunk into two thin strips, then slice two thin triangles and place beneath legs. Finish off the plate with celery “grass” where the turkey is happily frolicking!
This is so cute Amy! You are so creative! Pinned to my Thanksgiving foods and crafts board, so I keep it to try later with my daughter. She will love it:)
