Veggie Turkey

So, when I got to the school to sign up for the Fall Feast, pretty much everything I liked to do was gone...ok, the sweets.  (Click here for this year's sweet, last year's sweet AND the year before's sweet. ) Veggies were all that was left to bring.  Well, if you know me at all, you know I had to do this.  I just can't help it. 
It actually didn't take all that long...just poked a couple of toothpicks in the veggies and then poked them into the cabbage I used for a base.  You could really use any vegetables you like...I tried to keep it limited to what 4 year olds might like...broccoli, carrots, tomatoes and mushrooms.  The Veggie Turkey was also offered with Ranch Dip.  They all seemed to really get a kick out of the turkey.  After the party, only the lettuce, squash and few tomatoes remained.  They really gobbled it up!  (I know, that was bad.)
My inspiration came from a couple of places; Taste of Home, Eating With Food Allergies, and Radish Magazine.  

Happy Thanksgiving!
Smiles!!
