Turkey Vegetable Tray for Thanksgiving

It’s never too early to start planning your Thanksgiving dinner! I came up with this Turkey Vegetable Tray fun food idea years ago at Thanksgiving after being inspired by some amazing creative veggie trays I found online.

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my aunt’s house, the one who makes the best homemade pickles, and I was in charge of appetizers.

Each year, my family serves sliced vegetables, pickles and olives. Instead of using the usual glass bowls, I grabbed a plate and started creating a turkey out of the vegetables. I think he turned out pretty cute!

I hope this Turkey veggie tray inspires you to do something creative with your family meal this Thanksgiving.

  1. Made this for the first time for our large family Thanksgiving dinner. Such a fun and cute idea, thank you!

  2. Loving these! Can’t wait to make one for Thanksgiving! I’d try a Halloween one too, but for some ‘strange’ reason, I just don’t think my kids will be eating many veggies that night! 😉 Thanks for sharing!
