How to Make a Thanksgiving Turkey Veggie Tray – bring some fun to your Thanksgiving relish platter with these cute turkey shaped veggie trays!
Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday. I love getting together with my extended family, preparing a huge meal, and of course EATING all the food! I love that it is a day about nothing more than being grateful and spending quality time with all your special people. With all the Christmas hoopla beginning earlier and earlier every year, it seems that Thanksgiving gets a little lost. In our family, Thanksgiving is a big deal. Of course we go all out on the food, but the family time is even better. Games are always involved and Thanksgiving Eve festivities are legendary!
If you’ve been assigned to bring the Thanksgiving relish tray to your gathering this year, why not get creative and make one of these adorable turkey veggie trays! They are a fun way to be festive with a boring old veggie tray. Get the kids involved too…they will have fun making AND eating these cute birds. I’ve included two different versions but feel free to get creative with your own designs!
