Instructions
- Make my recipe for a Cheddar, Bacon, and Beer Cheese Ball. Wrap up and refrigerate a few hours or overnight.
- Save 2 tablespoons of the cheese ball to use as “glue” to make the turkey.
- Use plastic wrap to help form the rest of it into a large ball.
- Cover the cheese ball with thinly sliced fresh mushrooms.
- Place cheese ball on a large tray or platter lined with green leaf lettuce.
- Use layers of fresh veggies like sliced radishes, scallions, sliced peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, zucchini and summer squash to create the look of feathers.
- Place pieces of sliced cheese and summer sausage up at base of the front of the cheese ball.
- Use a little of the reserved cheese ball mixture to “glue” a radish on the mushrooms for the turkey’s head.
- “Glue” with more of the mixture to attach whole black peppercorns for the eyes, and a thinly sliced carrot for the nose.
- Sun dried tomatoes or pecans halves make this guy gobble, gobble!
- Get out your camera and take a picture quick because in no time this will be gobbled right up!
- Have fun! You can do it! You’ll look like a serious “rock star”! Yum! If you have any good holiday recipes or game day ideas please share.
