Monday is Canadian Thanksgiving and that means I am “Talkin’ Turkey”. Nice thing about these turkeys is that all the fixins are included and there is no fear that they will be dried out because I used my chocolate brownie cookie recipe.
- candy caramel corn – I used the Thanksgiving colours that you can sometimes find but if not the Halloween one will look just as cute
- small heart sprinkles
- candy eyes
- tweezers
- melted chocolate in a squeeze bottle if you want royal icing will also work
- royal icing – orange and white –- as always I stress how much I like Ateco meringue - --- powder because it takes like marshmallows
- round cookie cutter – any size will work the one I used was about 3” around
Instructions and Tips:
I actually sorta placed everything around the cookie to see how it would look before I stuck everything on – just as practice.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and pour into squeeze bottle OR melt right in the bottle.
Squeeze a line of melted chocolate (or royal icing) and place caramel corns across the top to form the tail feathers. Let dry (I actually put in the fridge for a few minutes).
Add the eyes with white royal icing.
Draw an orange triangle for the beak and place the heart sprinkle for the wattle – that thing that hangs down under the beak – who knew it was called a wattle? My sister-in-law that is who knew because I did not know and called her for vocabulary help (THANKS Jill).
Draw the legs.
If you take time to make these, take a little more time and let me know how they turned out.
Happy Thanksgiving!
