Thanksgiving Oreo Turkey! {Recipe}

November 25, 2014

This is an oldie but a goodie-sharing it here for the first time. 

Each holiday season, I try to find a few “kid-friendly” recipes that my little one can help me make. It’s important to get the kids involved in holiday activities – it helps create memories they will carry with them into adulthood.

Here’s a really cute one, don’t worry too much about how the final product looks – just have fun making it!

OREO TURKEY

WHAT YOU NEED:

2 Oreo Cookies

1 Miniature Reeses PB Cup

6 Candy Corns

1 Whopper

Yellow, red and black small tubes of frosting

1 container chocolate frosting (optional)

 

WHAT YOU DO:

1. Take a small amount of frosting (I used chocolate frosting) and place it on one of the Oreos, where the tail feathers will go.

2. Add five candy corn tail feathers to the Oreo cookie, where you just put the frosting – the frosting will help them stick.9c745ab9f9b208de04df4930b63e0a93

3. Take one miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup (unwrapped) and cut off a small chunk (see photo). Add a small amount of frosting to it and stick it to the Oreo. Now add more frosting to the other side of the Reese’s cup and attach the other Oreo cookie to it. It should look like the photo.9994f3fd71002c73c7f59554cabd639a39bdd393a773fb1aadcd3b36ff0d1671

4. Add frosting to the Whopper and attach it to the Oreo cookie that has the tail feathers on it.ccfb8a66ad00e2356211f88067f58691

5. Use the last remaining candy corn to make the turkey’s beak. Cut off most of the yellow and orange part of the candy corn, leaving the white for the beak. Use a tiny bit of frosting to attach the beak.7b188293b5976d2e3b75d664ac0eeb86

6. Use the red, yellow and black frosting to add eyes and the turkey’s wattle neck. ed52bda1eb05b973696433dcd229c89e

Be careful standing him up.

I had a blast making these with my little one, and I know you will too!

Happy Thanksgiving!
